Draft:TOI-2136 b
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TOI-2136 b is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star TOI-2136, located approximately 33 parsecs (about 108 light-years) from Earth. The planet was discovered in 2022 using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). It is classified as a sub-Neptune planet, meaning that it is larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune.[1]

The planet completes one orbit around its host star in about 7.85 days and has a radius roughly 2.2 times that of Earth.[1]
Discovery
TOI-2136 b was detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite as part of its survey of nearby stars for transiting planets. The planet was initially identified as a candidate object when periodic dips in the brightness of its host star were detected.[1]
Follow-up observations including ground-based photometry and radial-velocity measurements confirmed the planetary nature of the signal and allowed astronomers to determine its physical properties.[1]
The discovery was reported in 2022 in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
