Pollux b
Pollux b
Pollux b is an exoplanet orbiting the star Pollux, located about 33.8 light-years (10.4 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2006.
The host star Pollux has apparent magnitude of 1.1, with absolute magnitude of 1.1. It is 1.5 times more massive and 9.3 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 4666 with its spectral types of K0IIIb
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet Pollux b orbits around the star Pollux every 589.6 days with its orbital distance of 1.69 AU ( 252820401.5 km)
(Projected orbit of Pollux b around its host star Pollux)
The Star Pollux 's habitable zone is located at the following distance
