description HD 108874 c Overview
HD 108874 c is a confirmed outer planet in the HD 108874 system, orbiting a solar-type star. It was discovered through radial-velocity observations and has a mass in the giant-planet range. The planet takes several years to complete one orbit, substantially longer than the period of the inner planet HD 108874 b. Its long-period orbit makes it relevant to studies of systems in which multiple giant planets interact over extended timescales.
help HD 108874 c FAQ
Where is HD 108874 c in its planetary system?
HD 108874 c is the confirmed outer planet in the HD 108874 system. It orbits farther from the star than the inner planet and therefore takes several years to complete an orbit.
How was HD 108874 c found?
It was discovered through radial-velocity observations of a solar-type star. Astronomers identified the slower signal produced by the outer giant planet.
What type of planet is HD 108874 c?
It is in the giant-planet mass range. Its multi-year orbit distinguishes it from the shorter-period inner planet in the same system.
Does HD 108874 c orbit a Sun-like star?
Yes. The host star HD 108874 is described as solar-type, meaning it shares broad stellar properties with the Sun, though that does not make the system identical to our Solar System.
