description HD 190360 c Overview
HD 190360 c is the inner, low-mass planet in the HD 190360 planetary system, which surrounds a G-type star. It was identified through radial-velocity measurements and has a mass in the super-Earth to Neptune-mass range. Its discovery was significant because it demonstrated that relatively small planets could be detected in systems around stars similar to the Sun.
help HD 190360 c FAQ
What kind of planet is HD 190360 c?
HD 190360 c is the inner, low-mass planet in the HD 190360 system. It is generally placed in the super-Earth to Neptune-mass range rather than the Jupiter-mass range.
How was HD 190360 c discovered?
It was identified through radial-velocity measurements of the G-type star HD 190360. The planet's gravitational pull creates a small periodic motion in the star.
Why is HD 190360 c scientifically interesting?
Its discovery showed that low-mass planets can exist in systems that also contain a more distant giant planet. That combination helped astronomers compare planetary formation at different orbital distances.
Is HD 190360 c a potentially habitable Earth twin?
There is no evidence that it is an Earth twin. Its classification is based mainly on mass and orbital measurements, while its atmosphere and surface conditions have not been directly observed.
