About this world
TOI-4184 b is a sub-Neptune orbiting TOI-4184, a cool red dwarf (type M5.5+/-) 226 light-years from Earth. It is about 2.4 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 4.9 days at 0.034 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 412 K (139 °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 2023 by transit with Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction.
