Proxima Centauri d
Proxima Centauri d
Proxima Centauri d is an exoplanet orbiting the star Proxima Centauri, located about 4.2 light-years ( 1.3 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2020.
The host star Proxima Centauri has apparent magnitude of 11.1, with absolute magnitude of 15.6. It is 0.1 times more massive and 0.1 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 3050 with its spectral types of M5.5V
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet Proxima Centauri d orbits around the star Proxima Centauri every 5.2 days with its orbital distance of 0.03 AU ( 4315898.6 km)
(Projected orbit of Proxima Centauri d around its host star Proxima Centauri)
The Star Proxima Centauri 's habitable zone is located at the following distance
