14 Herculis c

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

14 Herculis c is the second extrasolar planet after 14 Herculis b , which orbits the main sequence star 14 Herculis . Due to its high mass , it is assumed that it is a gas planet . Currently (2018) the planet is considered unconfirmed.

Info

During the measurements of the radial velocity of 14 Herculis, 14 Herculis b had already been found, the data indicated a second, more distant, massive celestial body, which was published by Krzysztof Goždziewski in 2006. In a later publication the same author states that for a long-term stable system, an orbital resonance between the two planets can be assumed. Assuming identical orbital planes, a possible position of 14 Herculis c can be seen at a distance of 6.9 AU with a period of about 6900 days (1: 4 resonance), Goździewski considers an orbit at 9 AU to be the most stable. The planet would have a mass at least twice that of Jupiter.
