TOI-763 is a single high proper motion G-type star in the constellation of Centaurus, near the galaxy NGC 4832 in the sky.[3] It is approximately 0.9 times the mass and radius of the Sun, with a surface temperature of 5,450±60 K and a spectral type of G7.[7] TOI-763 is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. Based upon parallax measurements, it is located 312 light-years (95.6 parsecs) in distance from the Sun. The object is drifting towards the Sun with a radial velocity of −13.8 km/s.[2]
Planetary system
[edit]In August of 2020, two exoplanets were identified via the transit method of exoplanet detection by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), a space telescope for NASA's Explorer program, designed to search for exoplanets. A third candidate planet is suspected based on radial velocity observations.[4]
Neither of these two planets orbit in the habitable zone and are both believed to be sub-Neptune planets.[8]
