The other star

TOI-1201 B has no spectral type listed of magnitude 13.46, moving through space with it. In 2019 it was 8.3″ from TOI-1201, at position angle 99° (Washington Double Star Catalog, 02490-1432 KPP2871): 314 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.
