TOI-2018 b: A Super-Earth Around a Cool Dwarf
TOI-2018 is a K V star, a main-sequence dwarf cooler and redder than the Sun, located 91.3 light-years away. Its mass is 0.57 solar masses and its radius is 0.62 solar radii, both smaller than the Sun's corresponding values, and its temperature of 4170 K is cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this star: TOI-2018 b.
TOI-2018 b is a Super-Earth, a size class that reaches up to 2.5 times Earth's radius. Its radius is 2.27 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and its mass is 9.2 Earth masses, also larger than Earth's. The planet was discovered by the transit method in 2023, in which a planet passing in front of its star from our viewpoint causes a small dip in observed brightness. Its orbital period is 7.44 days, the time it takes to complete one orbit. Its mean density is 4.35 g/cm³, 0.789 times Earth's.
