Upsilon Andromedae e (also abbreviated υ And e ) is an extrasolar planet which the approximately 44.25 light years from the sun distant main sequence star Titawin A in the binary system Titawin in the constellation Andromeda orbits. It is the outermost of the four known planets in the star's planetary system .
discovery
The planet was discovered in 2010 by a team of astronomers led by S. Curiel from the Astronomical Institute of the National Autonomous University of Mexico . The discovery was made using the radial velocity method .
properties
υ And e has similarities with Jupiter in the solar system in terms of its orbital properties and its minimum mass . It orbits its central star at 5.24558 AU distance in 3848.86 days. Unlike the further inward orbiting planets Samh and Majriti , its orbit is almost circular. υ And e has a track response with Samh of 3: 1. The minimum mass is slightly larger than the mass of Jupiter, although the actual mass could be higher.
