HD 33844 and Its Two Known Planets
HD 33844 is a star located 345 light-years away with two known planets. The host is a K0 III star with an age of 2.42 billion years, a mass of 1.55 solar masses, a radius of 5.39 solar radii, and a temperature of 4910 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, while its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
Both planets were discovered in 2015 using the radial velocity method. This technique measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion, with repeated wobbles revealing the planet and its orbital period.
HD 33844 b has a minimum mass of 639 Earth masses and an orbital period of 551 days. Its minimum mass is larger than Earth's and roughly 2.01 times Jupiter's mass. Among the listed planets, HD 33844 b has the shortest year by reported estimates and the largest minimum mass.
HD 33844 c has a minimum mass of 556 Earth masses and an orbital period of 916 days. Its minimum mass is larger than Earth's and roughly 1.75 times Jupiter's mass. Among the listed planets, HD 33844 c has the longest year by reported estimates and the smallest minimum mass.
