Minimum Mass
In astronomy, minimum mass is the lower-bound calculated mass of observed objects such as planets, stars and binary systems, nebulae, and black holes. Minimum mass is a widely cited statistic for extrasolar planets detected by the radial velocity method or Doppler spectroscopy, and is determined using the binary mass function. This method reveals planets by measuring changes in the movement of stars in the line-of-sight, so the real orbital inclinations and true masses of the planets are generally unknown. This is a result of sin ''i'' degeneracy. If inclination ''i'' can be determined, the true mass can be obtained from the calculated minimum mass using the following relationship: M_\text = \frac Exoplanets Orientation of the transit to Earth Most stars will not have their planets lined up and orientated so that they eclipse over the center of the star and give the viewer on earth a perfect transit. It is for this reason that when we often are only able to extrapolat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

HAT-P-52b
HAT-P-5 is a 12th magnitude star in the constellation Lyra, approximately 1,000 light years away from Earth. It is a spectral type G star, about 1.16 solar masses and radii greater than the Sun, and only 200 kelvins hotter. It is estimated to be 2.6 billion years old. The star HAT-P-5 is named Chasoň. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Slovakia, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Chasoň is an ancient Slovak term for Sun. Planetary system On October 9, 2007, a report was submitted to ''The Astrophysical Journal Letters'' telling of the discovery of an exoplanet transiting HAT-P-5. The planet was described as a Jupiter-like hot Jupiter, with a radius about one and one quarter times that of Jupiter, and nearly the same mass. Its density was reported as 0.66 ± 0.11 g/cm3, and its inclination 86.75 ± 0.44°. See also * HAT-P-4 * HAT-P-6 * List of extrasolar planets These are lists of exoplanets.
