# The TIC 279401253 system

TIC 279401253 is a star in Eridanus, 931.5 ly away, with 2 known planets. Their orbits run from 0.369 to 0.591 AU. All of them were detected by transit.

## The planets, innermost first

| Planet | Orbit (AU) | Period | Radius | Mass | Equilibrium T |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [b](https://spacecatalog.org/object/tic-279401253-b) | 0.369 | 76.8 d | 11.21 R⊕ | 1950 M⊕ | 486 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.
