## 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 | 1147.1 K |
| Host star temperature | 5271.39 K |
| Host star mass | 0.9 +0.13 / −0.087 M☉ |
| Host star radius | 0.997091 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) | 11.95 |

### 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 | TIC 270471727 |
| Orbital period | 10.4562 days +5.9×10⁻⁵ / −5.7×10⁻⁵ |
| Inclination | 88.81 +0.86 / −1.6° |
| Transit midpoint | 2459239.4513 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 |
| --- | --- |
| Discovery method | Transit |
| Discovered at | Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) |
