CVSO 30 C
CVSO 30 (PTFO 8-8695) is a suspected binary T Tauri star, located in constellation Orion at 1200 light years from Earth with one candidate planet called CVSO 30 c. The candidate planet is a gas giant. The star is named after the CIDA Variability Survey of Orion (CVSO) and the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and is within the 25 Ori group. Planetary system CVSO 30 may have one planet called CVSO 30 c. CVSO 30 c is calculated to have a period of 27,000 years and a semimajor axis of 660 AU. Direct imaging of the suspected CVSO 30 c, with a calculated mass equal to 4.7 Jupiter's, has been achieved through photometric and spectroscopic high contrast observations carried out with the Very Large Telescope located in Chile, the Keck Observatory in Hawaii and the Calar Alto Observatory in Spain. However, the colors of the object suggest that it may actually be a background star, such as a K-type giant or a M-type subdwarf A subdwarf, sometimes denoted by "sd", is a star ...
