# The TYC 8998-760-1 system

TYC 8998-760-1 is a K3 IV orange star in Musca, 308.6 ly away, with 2 known planets. Their orbits run from 146 to 320 AU. All of them were detected by imaging.

## The planets, innermost first

| Planet | Orbit (AU) | Period | Radius | Mass | Equilibrium T |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [b](https://spacecatalog.org/object/tyc-8998-760-1-b) | 146 | — | 21.18 R⊕ | 6930 M⊕ | 2638 K |
| [c](https://spacecatalog.org/object/tyc-8998-760-1-c) | 320 | — | 12.33 R⊕ | 1910 M⊕ | 1240 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.
