Barnard's b
Barnard's b

  • Barnard's b is an exoplanet orbiting the star Barnard's star, located about 6.0 light-years ( 1.8 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2018.
  • The host star Barnard's star has apparent magnitude of 9.5, with absolute magnitude of 13.2.
  • It is 0.2 times more massive and 0.2 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 3278 with its spectral types of M4V
  • In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet Barnard's b orbits around the star Barnard's star every 232.8 days with its orbital distance of 0.40 AU ( 60522442.7 km)
