Worth knowing

HD 196067 c goes round its star every 4.60 days, 19 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

HD 196067 is one of 2 stars in its system: the other is drawn where the Washington Double Star Catalog measures it on the sky.

Where the archive gives only a period or only an orbit size, the other is worked out from Kepler’s third law with the star’s mass.

The other star

HD 196067 B has no spectral type listed of magnitude 7.07, moving through space with it. In 2023 it was 16.7″ from HD 196067, at position angle 20° (Washington Double Star Catalog, 20417-7521 DUN 232): 667 AU on the sky at this distance. The true distance can only be larger. Its colour is estimated from its brightness.

Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.
