## 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 |
| --- | --- |
| Host star mass | 1.4 M☉ |

### THE ORBIT

| --- | --- |
| Host star | M62H |
| Orbital period | 0.132935 days |
| Periastron epoch | 2460130.3653 BJD |
| Stars in system | 1 |
| Planets in system | 1 |
