Facts
Teegarden's Star b has an equilibrium temperature between −50 and +50 °C.
How it was found
First planet found in 2019, by radial velocity (NASA Exoplanet Archive).
Its planets
Teegarden's Star b — 1.1 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), about Earth-sized — probably rocky; its year lasts 5 days; about 4 °C, between freezing and boiling; found in 2019 by radial velocity.
Teegarden's Star c — 1 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), about Earth-sized — probably rocky; its year lasts 11 days; about −64 °C, below freezing; found in 2019 by radial velocity.
Teegarden's Star d — 1 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), about Earth-sized — probably rocky; its year lasts 26 days; about −110 °C, below freezing; found in 2024 by radial velocity.
