About this world
EPIC 206024342 d is a sub-Neptune orbiting EPIC 206024342, a yellow, Sun-like star 1.21 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 2.6 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 14.6 days at 0.11 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 747 K (474 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.
It was discovered in 2021 by transit with K2. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. EPIC 206024342 has 3 known planets; the others are EPIC 206024342 c and EPIC 206024342 b.
