HD 13931 b
Extrasolar planet in the Andromeda constellation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HD 13931 b (also known as HIP 10626 b) is an extrasolar planet which orbits the G-type star HD 13931, located approximately 155 light years away in the constellation Andromeda. This planet takes 11.55 years to orbit the star at the average distance of 5.15 AU or 770 million km. The planet's eccentricity (0.02) is about the same as Earth.[1] The orbital distance for this planet ranges from 5.05 to 5.25 AU. This planet was discovered by using radial velocity method from spectrograph taken at Keck Observatory on November 13, 2009.
