TOI-6041: A Sun-Like Star With Two Known Planets

TOI-6041 is a G7 star 236 light-years away. It is estimated to be 7.9 billion years old, with a reported mass of 0.885 solar masses and a radius of 0.879 solar radii. Its temperature of 5450 K is cooler than the Sun's. Two planets are known to orbit this star.

TOI-6041 b was discovered by the transit method in 2025. It is a Jupiter-like planet with a reported radius of 4.55 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Its mass is reported as an upper limit of 28.9 Earth masses, and its orbital period is 26 days, the shortest year among the listed planets. TOI-6041 c was found by radial velocity, which measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion; repeated wobbles reveal the planet and its orbital period. Its minimum mass is 77.9 Earth masses, larger than Earth's, and its orbital period is 88 days, the longest year among the listed planets.

The star's reported mass and radius estimates are both smaller than the Sun's.
