Gliese 341 is a red dwarf star located 34.1 light-years (10.5 parsecs) away in the constellation Carina. It hosts one known exoplanet.

Planetary system edit

Evidence of a transiting exoplanet, Gliese 341 b, was found in data from TESS,[5] and was confirmed in January 2024 along with a spectrum from JWST. The spectrum is consistent with the planet having no atmosphere, a hazy atmosphere, or an atmosphere mainly composed of certain molecules such as water vapor, while ruling out other types of atmospheres.[4]

Gliese 341 b is slightly smaller than Earth, at 92% of its radius. Its mass is known to be less than 4.5 times that of Earth, and is predicted to be about 0.72±0.14 M🜨 based on its radius. It orbits close to its star, completing an orbit every 7.6 days, and has an equilibrium temperature of 540 K (267 °C; 512 °F).[4]

TOI-540 is a red dwarf star located 45.6 light-years (14.0 parsecs) away in the constellation Pictor. It has about 16% the mass and 19% the radius of the Sun, and a temperature of about 3,216 K (2,943 °C; 5,329 °F). This is a rapidly-rotating star, with a rotation period of only 17 hours. TOI-540 hosts one known exoplanet.

Planetary system edit

The exoplanet TOI-540 b is a transiting planet smaller than Earth, discovered in 2020 by TESS. It orbits very close to its star, completing an orbit in just over a day, and has an equilibrium temperature of 611 K (338 °C; 640 °F).[4]
