About this world
TOI-1806 d is a sub-Neptune orbiting TOI-1806, a cool red dwarf 181 light-years from Earth. It is about 2.9 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 8.2 days at 0.058 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 379 K (106 °C): too cold for liquid water on its surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.
It was discovered in 2026 by transit with Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. TOI-1806 has 3 known planets; the others are TOI-1806 c and TOI-1806.01.
