The other star

TOI-5076 B has no spectral type listed of magnitude 17.56, judged a true companion. In 2016 it was 26″ from TOI-5076, at position angle 330° (Washington Double Star Catalog, 03220+1715 LDS3483): 2,154 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.
