description GJ 3293 c Overview
GJ 3293 c is an exoplanet detected by measuring the gravitational effect it produces on its host star, the red dwarf GJ 3293. It is one member of a multi-planet system identified through long-term radial-velocity observations. The planet is generally described as a Neptune-mass world, but its minimum mass is the quantity directly constrained by the radial-velocity method because the orbital inclination is not known. It is studied as part of the population of planets orbiting low-mass stars.
help GJ 3293 c FAQ
What is GJ 3293 c?
GJ 3293 c is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf GJ 3293. It is generally described as a Neptune-mass world in a multi-planet system.
How was GJ 3293 c detected?
Astronomers detected it by measuring the gravitational effect it produces on GJ 3293. This is the radial-velocity approach, which infers the planet from the star's motion.
What kind of star does GJ 3293 c orbit?
GJ 3293 c orbits a red dwarf, a smaller and cooler type of star than the Sun. The system was identified through long-term radial-velocity observations.
Is GJ 3293 c part of a multi-planet system?
Yes. GJ 3293 c is one member of a multi-planet system around the red dwarf GJ 3293, rather than a solitary detected planet.
