description HD 10180 c Overview
HD 10180 c is a confirmed planet detected through the radial-velocity motion of the Sun-like star HD 10180, located about 130 light-years from Earth. It was reported in 2010 from observations with the HARPS spectrograph and is one member of a compact multi-planet system. Planet c has a minimum mass in the Neptune range and completes its orbit in roughly 5.8 days, placing it close to its host star.
help HD 10180 c FAQ
How was HD 10180 c discovered?
HD 10180 c was detected through the radial-velocity motion of its Sun-like host star. The system was reported in 2010 from observations made with the HARPS spectrograph.
How far away is HD 10180 c?
The HD 10180 system is about 130 light-years from Earth. Planet c is one member of a compact multi-planet system around the star.
Does HD 10180 c transit its star?
The planet is known from the star's radial-velocity wobble rather than a confirmed transit signal. That method measures changes in the star's motion caused by the planet's gravity.
Why is HD 10180 c notable?
It belongs to a compact system with multiple planets around a Sun-like star. Its 2010 detection with HARPS helped make HD 10180 an important example of a tightly packed planetary system.
