Pojmenování. “Astronomers also thought 55 Cancri e contained a substantial amount of super-heated water, based on the assumption that its chemical makeup was similar to Earth’s,” Dr Madhusudhan said. preprint. The finding involved noting subtle changes in the speed of the star caused by its orbiting planets. 55 Cancri is a mid-sixth magnitude star (magnitude 5.95) class G (G8) dwarf 41 light years away. Dvě složky dvojhvězdy mají označení A a B, ačkoli sama složka A je někdy označována jako 55 Cancri. The 55 Cancri Star System Forty-one light years from Earth is a star system known to have at least 3 planets. 55 Cancri: A Laboratory for Testing Numerous Conjectures about Planet Formation 2008 CHRISTODOULOU D. & KAZANAS D. ApJ. V Bayerově katalogu má hvězda název ρ¹ Cancri (ró¹ Cancri) a v katalogu jasných hvězd je evidována jako HR 3522. 55 Cancri je pojmenování hvězdy v Flamsteedové katalogu hvězd. Kyseessä on planeettajärjestelmänsä viides ja uloin tähän mennessä havaittu planeetta. lació de Càncer, aproximadament, a 40,9 anys-llum de distància a la Terra.Forma part d… A dynamical perspective on additional planets in 55 Cancri 2008 RAYMOND S., BARNES R. & GORELICK N. The planet, discovered by G. Marcy (UC Berkeley) and collaborators, is one of two new planets found around 55 Cancri-- in 1997 a Jupiter-massed planet was found orbiting very close in. 55 Cancri has two massive planets orbiting it closer than Mercury orbits our Sun.
ApJ., 689, 478 A bit cooler (5280 Kelvin) and carrying just under a solar mass, it shines at just 58 percent of the luminosity of the Sun, its radius 0.9 solar. 55 Cancri d on eksoplaneetta, joka kiertää Auringon kaltaisen 55 Cancri A-tähden kerran 14,29 vuodessa.Se sijaitsee yhtä kaukana tähdestään kuin Jupiter Auringosta.
