# The HD 12572 system

HD 12572 is a G5 yellow star in Aries, 230.3 ly away, with 2 known planets. Their orbits run from 0.145 to 0.269 AU. All of them were detected by transit.

## The planets, innermost first

| Planet | Orbit (AU) | Period | Radius | Mass | Equilibrium T |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [HIP 9618 b](https://spacecatalog.org/object/hip-9618-b) | 0.145 | 20.77 d | 3.83 R⊕ | 8.3 M⊕ | 641 K |
| [HIP 9618 c](https://spacecatalog.org/object/hip-9618-c) | 0.269 | 52.56 d | 3.43 R⊕ | 7 M⊕ | 470 K |

Every figure is the planet's composite parameter from the [NASA Exoplanet Archive (Planetary Systems Composite Parameters)](https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/TblView/nph-tblView?app=ExoTbls&config=PSCompPars), one consistent set per world. Semi-major axes are orbits about the star, not distances from Earth.
