LKCA 15 b
LKCA 15 b
LKCA 15 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star LKCA 15, located about 472.9 light-years (145.0 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2011.
The host star LKCA 15 has apparent magnitude of 11.9, with absolute magnitude of 6.1. It is 1.0 times more massive and 1.0 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 4400 with its spectral types of K5V
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet LKCA 15 b orbits around the star LKCA 15 every 40000.0 days with its orbital distance of 15.70 AU ( 2348686570.0 km)
(Projected orbit of LKCA 15 b around its host star LKCA 15)
