KIC 10001893

Planetary system · 5456.4 light-years away

KIC 10001893 is 5,456 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 3 planets around this 27,500 K star; the first was found in 2014 by orbital brightness modulation (Kepler).

Worth knowing

KIC 10001893 b goes round its star every 5.3 hours, 401 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

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.

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.
