:INFO Super-earth around HD 219134 It is 1.31 times Earth's radius, closest in size to Earth, and 7.3 times Earth's mass. A year there lasts 22.72 days, on an orbit 3 times closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun. Its equilibrium temperature is 523 K, hotter than any desert. The host star HD 219134 runs at 4699 K with 0.81 times the Sun's mass. :JOURNEY HD 219134 from the inside out 1 0.039 AU 2 0.065 AU 3 0.146 AU 4 0.237 AU :STATS [icon:TARGET] Radius | 1.31 Earth radii [icon:CHART] Mass | 7.3 Earth masses [icon:FIRE] Equilibrium temperature | 523 K (measured) [icon:CLOCK] One year | 22.72 days [icon:BOLT] Orbit radius | 0.1463 AU [icon:STAR] Host star | HD 219134 at 4699 K [icon:USERS] Distance | 21 light-years :COUNTER 21.3 light-years: close enough to be a follow-up target :CHECKLIST What the archive holds on this planet [ ] A measured radius. Yes. [ ] A measured mass. Yes. [ ] A density, the one clue to composition. No. [ ] A semi-major axis. Yes. [ ] An observed temperature. Yes. [ ] An eccentricity, so the orbit shape is known. Yes. :PATH What the wobble gives A minimum mass, from how fast the star moves toward and away from us. :NOTE HD 219134 has 6 known planets. Systems like this are the ones where architecture can be studied instead of guessed at. :NOTE This planet was found by the wobble it induces in its star, which measures mass rather than size. A radius quoted for such a planet usually comes from a later transit or from a model. :LINK https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/overview/HD%20219134%20f NASA Exoplanet Archive: every published measurement of this planet
