# The HD 4732 system

HD 4732 is a K0III orange giant in Cetus, 188.9 ly away, with 2 known planets. Their orbits run from 1.13 to 4.72 AU. All of them were detected by radial velocity.

## The planets, innermost first

| Planet | Orbit (AU) | Period | Radius | Mass | Equilibrium T |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [b](https://spacecatalog.org/object/hd-4732-b) | 1.13 | 371.7 d | 13.40 R⊕ | 631 M⊕ | 499 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.
