# LHS 3154 b

LHS 3154 b is a Neptune-like [planet](https://spacecatalog.org/planets) in the constellation [Hercules](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/hercules), 51.40 ly from Earth. It orbits LHS 3154 at a mean distance of 0.02262 AU. It has a mass of 13.15 M⊕ and a radius of 3.69 R⊕ · 23 535 km. It was discovered in 2023.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Neptune-like planet
- **HOW FAR:** 51.40 ly — The light arriving now left it that long ago.
- **HOW BIG:** 3.69 R⊕ · 23 535 km — Its radius: half the width across.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Hercules](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/hercules) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.
- **ONE ORBIT TAKES:** 3.72 days — One trip round LHS 3154.

## 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 | 343.83 K |
| Host star spectral type | M6.5 |
| Host star temperature | 2861 ±77 K |
| Host star mass | 0.1118 ±0.0027 M☉ |
| Host star radius | 0.1405 ±0.0038 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) | 17.65 |

### 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 | LHS 3154 |
| Orbital period | 3.71778 days +0.0008 / −0.00081 |
| Eccentricity | 0.076 +0.057 / −0.047 |
| Argument of periastron | 82 +102 / −47° |
| Periastron epoch | 2458874.0200 BJD |
| Transit midpoint | 2458874.0000 BJD |
| Stars in system | 1 |
| Planets in system | 1 |

### WHEN IT WAS FOUND

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

| Field | Value |
