Pi Mensae c is an exoplanet orbiting the G-type main-sequence star Pi Mensae, located approximately 60 light-years from Earth. Discovered in 2018 by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), it holds the distinction of being the very first exoplanet candidate identified by the mission. It...

TOI-1338 b is a circumbinary exoplanet discovered in 2020 by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). It was the first circumbinary planet identified by the TESS mission, orbiting a binary star system composed of an orange dwarf and a red dwarf located roughly 1,300 light-years away in t...

TOI-700 e is an Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting TOI-700, an M-dwarf star approximately 100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Dorado. It was identified using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and announced in January 2023. The planet orbits within the star's habit...

Discovered by NASA's TESS satellite in 2019, L 98-59 b is a rocky, Earth-sized exoplanet notable for being the innermost planet in a multi-planet system orbiting a cool M-dwarf star.

TOI-715 b is a super-Earth exoplanet discovered by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) through the transit method. It orbits a red dwarf star located approximately 137 light-years from Earth in the constellation Volans. The planet has a radius of about 1.55 times that of Earth and re...

HD 21749 b is a confirmed transiting planet orbiting the K-type star HD 21749 in the southern constellation Reticulum. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite identified its transit in data released in 2019, and follow-up observations established a radius about 2.8 times Earth's and a mass of r...

L 98-59 d is a confirmed transiting planet in the compact system around the nearby M dwarf L 98-59. NASA's TESS mission helped identify the system in 2019, and later measurements placed planet d at about 1.5 Earth radii with a mass of roughly two Earths. Its orbit lasts about 7.5 days, making it a s...

L 98-59 c is a confirmed small planet orbiting the nearby M dwarf L 98-59 and is the second planet in the system's original sequence from the star. It was identified from transits observed by NASA's TESS mission and has an orbital period of about 3.7 days. Its radius is roughly 1.3 times Earth's, pl...

TOI-178 g is the outermost known planet in the six-planet TOI-178 system, a compact system orbiting a late K-type star. It is a transiting planet in the super-Earth to mini-Neptune size range, with an orbital period of about 20.7 days. Together with planets c, d, e, and f, it participates in a chain...

TOI-178 f is the second-outermost known planet in the six-planet TOI-178 system. It is a transiting planet in the super-Earth to mini-Neptune size range and circles its late K-type host star about once every 15.2 days. Its orbit is part of the Laplace-resonance chain formed by the system's five oute...

TOI-178 e is a transiting planet in the six-planet TOI-178 system, orbiting a late K-type star about once every 10 days. It lies within the system's chain of Laplace resonances, which involves planets c through g and relates their orbital periods through repeated integer combinations. The TOI-178 pl...

TOI-178 d is a transiting exoplanet orbiting the late K-type star TOI-178, whose system contains six known transiting planets. It has a radius of about 2.3 times Earth's and a low measured density, consistent with a substantial volatile or gaseous envelope rather than a purely rocky composition. Wit...

TOI-178 c is a transiting exoplanet with a radius about 1.75 times Earth's and an orbital period of roughly 3.2 days. It orbits a late K-type star in the six-planet TOI-178 system and is one of the planets participating in the system's chain of Laplace resonances. Its measured density is substantial...

TOI-178 b is a transiting super-Earth-sized exoplanet with a radius close to 1.2 Earth radii and an orbital period of about 1.9 days. It is the innermost known planet around the late K-type star TOI-178. The system also contains five more transiting planets, but the main 2:4:6:9:12 Laplace-resonance...

HD 21749 c is a transiting planet with a radius estimated at about 0.9 Earth radii and an orbital period of approximately 7.8 days. NASA's TESS mission detected the transit around the K-type star HD 21749, and the planet was announced in 2019 as the mission's first roughly Earth-sized discovery. The...

TOI-700 b is a transiting, approximately Earth-sized exoplanet discovered by NASA's TESS mission in the TOI-700 system. It orbits an M dwarf every about 10 days and is the innermost of the system's currently known planets. Its short orbital distance gives it more stellar irradiation than the farther...

GJ 357 b is a transiting exoplanet with a radius about 1.2 times Earth's, discovered through NASA's TESS observations of the nearby M dwarf GJ 357. It is the innermost of three known planets in the system and completes an orbit in about 3.9 days. Its estimated equilibrium temperature is roughly 525...

TOI-700 c is a transiting sub-Neptune exoplanet orbiting the cool red dwarf TOI-700. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite identified the system, which also contains smaller planets including TOI-700 d and TOI-700 e. The system is notable because two of its known planets, d and e, orbit in or...
