TOI-1634

Planetary system · 115.0 light-years away

TOI-1634 is 115 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this M2 star; the first was found in 2021 by transit (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)).

Worth knowing

TOI-1634 b goes round its star every 23.7 hours, 89 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

TOI-1634 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

TOI-1634 A has no spectral type listed of magnitude 15.6, moving through space with it. In 2021 it was 2.5″ from TOI-1634, at position angle 271° (Washington Double Star Catalog, 03456+3707 TOI1634): 88.2 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.
