About this world
TOI-904 b is a sub-Neptune orbiting TOI-904, a cool red dwarf 150 light-years from Earth. It is about 2.4 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 10.9 days at 0.056 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 429 K (156 °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. TOI-904 has 2 known planets; the others are TOI-904 c.
