chi Sco b
chi Sco b
chi Sco b is an exoplanet orbiting the star chi Sco, located about 378.3 light-years (116.0 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2020.
The host star chi Sco has apparent magnitude of 5.2, with absolute magnitude of -0.1. It is 1.2 times more massive and 25.9 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 4157 with its spectral types of K3 III
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet chi Sco b orbits around the star chi Sco every 578.4 days with its orbital distance of 1.45 AU ( 216916912.5 km)
