# EPIC 211822797 b

EPIC 211822797 b is a super-Earth in the constellation [Cancer](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/cancer), 607.3 ly from Earth. It orbits EPIC 211822797 at a mean distance of 0.1195 AU. It has an estimated mass of 4.35 M⊕ and a radius of 1.92 R⊕ · 12 246 km. The mass is an estimate from the radius rather than a measurement. It was discovered in 2016.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Super-Earth
- **HOW FAR:** 607.3 ly — The light arriving now left it that long ago.
- **HOW BIG:** 1.92 R⊕ · 12 246 km — Its radius: half the width across.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Cancer](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/cancer) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.

## Catalogue data

### WHAT KIND OF THING IT IS

What the object is in itself, rather than how it happens to look from here.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Equilibrium temperature | 431 K |
| Host star spectral type | M0 |
| Host star temperature | 4057 +37 / −39 K |
| Host star mass | 0.62 ±0.02 M☉ |
| Host star radius | 0.58 ±0.01 R☉ |

### HOW BRIGHT IT IS

What the light adds up to, measured through one filter at a time. A magnitude is a brightness on a backwards scale — the smaller the number, the brighter the object.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Host star apparent magnitude (V) | 15.13 |

### THE ORBIT

The shape of the path, where the object sits on it, and the instant those figures were true of. An orbit is a fit to observations and drifts away from the real one either side of its epoch.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Host star | EPIC 211822797 |
| Orbital period | 21.1702 days +6.6×10⁻⁵ / −6.4×10⁻⁵ |
| Eccentricity | 0.06 +0.14 / −0.049 |
| Inclination | 89.73 +0.19 / −0.22° |
| Argument of periastron | 0 +156 / −67° |
| Transit midpoint | 2457144.4053 BJD |
| Stars in system | 1 |
| Planets in system | 1 |

### WHEN IT WAS FOUND

Who first saw it, from where, and by what method.
