HD 96992 and Its Planet
HD 96992 is a K0 star 1290 light-years away, with a mass of 0.96 solar masses, a radius of 7.43 solar radii, and a temperature of 4730 K. Its radius is larger than the Sun's, and its temperature is cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet is HD 96992 b, discovered in 2021 by the radial velocity method, which measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. Its minimum mass is 362 Earth masses, a lower bound on its true mass that is larger than Earth's. Its orbital period is 514 days.
