Where this comes from
- NASA Exoplanet Archive, Planetary Systems Composite Parameters (fetched 2026-11-02). Composite values: where a planet's size or mass was not measured, the archive estimates it from the other.
- This research has made use of the NASA Exoplanet Archive, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology, under contract with NASA under the Exoplanet Exploration Program.
