tau1 Gru b
tau1 Gru b
tau1 Gru b is an exoplanet orbiting the star tau1 Gru, located about 108.6 light-years (33.3 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2002.
The host star tau1 Gru has apparent magnitude of 6.0, with absolute magnitude of 3.4. It is 1.3 times more massive and 2.0 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 5767 with its spectral types of G0 V
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet tau1 Gru b orbits around the star tau1 Gru every 1311.0 days with its orbital distance of 2.56 AU ( 382970549.0 km)
