GJ 436 b
GJ 436 b
GJ 436 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star GJ 436, located about 33.3 light-years (10.2 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2004.
The host star GJ 436 has apparent magnitude of 10.7, with absolute magnitude of 10.6. It is 0.5 times more massive and 0.5 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 3684 with its spectral types of M2.5
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet GJ 436 b orbits around the star GJ 436 every 2.6 days with its orbital distance of 0.03 AU ( 4318890.5 km)
(Projected orbit of GJ 436 b around its host star GJ 436)
