## 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 |
| --- | --- |
| Surface temperature | 4740.1 K |
| Radius | 10.267424 R☉ |
| Mass | 2.1 M☉ |
| Surface gravity (log g) | 2.67 |
| Metallicity (\[Fe/H\]) | 0.13 ±0.065 |

### 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.

| Planets in system | 1 |

### WHERE THESE FIGURES CAME FROM

Which catalogue, paper or model each of the fields above was read from, where the source named one.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Stellar parameters from | NASA Exoplanet Archive composite parameters |
| Metallicity from | Median of 4 spectroscopic determinations in 3 papers, compiled from the literature (PASTEL, Soubiran+ 2016); the error bar is the scatter between them |
