| SUMMARY | ||
| A tidally-locked ringed Earth-like world with two trojan moons, both of which are landable. | → | A tidally-locked ringed Earth-like world with two trojan moons, both of which are landable. |
| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
This planet orbits an M class dwarf in 51.6 days. Also, more peculiarly, this system happens to be helium-rich, with a measured helium content of 30.24%. Finding an Earth-like world is significantly less common in helium-rich systems. The high metallicity here might explain the next oddity of this planet, its two icy moons which share a Trojan orbit.
These two share an orbital path around the Earth-like world, with a period of 2.9 days. Their masses are slightly different, the 1 a body being 0.0007 Earth Masses and the 1 b body being 0.0005, so they will eventually meet. However, their different orbital speeds are practically negligible in the span of a human lifetime; there will not be a collision for more than a century at least.
The moons are surprisingly not tidally locked to their parent planet: body 1 a has a retrograde rotation of 7 days, while body 1 b has a prograde rotation of the same length.
