GJ 581 b
GJ 581 b
GJ 581 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star GJ 581, located about 20.6 light-years ( 6.3 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2005.
The host star GJ 581 has apparent magnitude of 10.6, with absolute magnitude of 11.6. It is 0.3 times more massive and 0.3 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 3498 with its spectral types of M2.5V
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet GJ 581 b orbits around the star GJ 581 every 5.4 days with its orbital distance of 0.04 AU ( 6133512.7 km)
