# The HD 142 system

HD 142 is an F7V yellow-white main-sequence star in Phoenix, 83.87 ly away, with 3 known planets. Their orbits run from 0.474 to 9.81 AU. All of them were detected by radial velocity.

## The planets, innermost first

| Planet | Orbit (AU) | Period | Radius | Mass | Equilibrium T |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [A d](https://spacecatalog.org/object/hd-142-a-d) | 0.474 | 108.5 d | 10.90 R⊕ | 82.6 M⊕ | 530 K |
| [b](https://spacecatalog.org/object/hd-142-b) | 1.04 | 351.4 d | 12.70 R⊕ | 2260 M⊕ | 358 K |
| [c](https://spacecatalog.org/object/hd-142-c) | 9.81 | 27.82 yr | 12.40 R⊕ | 3460 M⊕ | 117 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.
