Composition
- Bulk composition
- Cool sub-Neptune or super-Earth (minimum mass ~6.1 Earth); never imaged.
- Cloud appearance
- Appearance based on ESO/M. Kornmesser's artist's concept. No spacecraft has imaged this world, so its real appearance is unknown — The banded clouds shown are a representation of its class, shown only in Vision mode; Realism shows a plain spectral colour.
Radiation & temperature
- Insolation
- 0.819 S⊕ · 82% of the sunlight Earth receives
- Equilibrium temperature
- 241 K (-32 °C)
Discovery & history
- Method
- Radial-velocity detection (stellar wobble)
- Name
- Designated 'd' as the third planet found around its star, following the IAU convention of lettering planets in discovery order from 'b'.
Established in 2026 with planet e as the radial-velocity baseline lengthened, completing the four-planet family (Hartogh et al. 2026).
