XO-6 b
XO-6 b
XO-6 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star XO-6, located about 280.5 light-years (86.0 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2016.
The host star XO-6 has apparent magnitude of 10.2, with absolute magnitude of 5.6. It is 1.5 times more massive and 1.9 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 6720 with its spectral types of F5
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet XO-6 b orbits around the star XO-6 every 3.8 days with its orbital distance of 0.08 AU ( 12192226.5 km)
