        Description The planet HD 20782 b is orbiting the main sequence star HD 20782, a star in a binary system in which both stars host a planetary systems. This is the first such system. The planet HD 20781 b is orbiting a star in a binary system in which both stars host a planetary systems. This is the first such system. It was announced as part of a large data release by the Euopean HARPS team. The planet HD 20781 c is orbiting a star in a binary system in which both stars host a planetary systems. This is the first such system. It was announced as part of a large data release by the Euopean HARPS team.

        Planet sizes

        The following plot shows the approximate sizes of the planets in this system The Solar System planets are shown as a comparison. Note that unless the radius has been determined through a transit observation, this is only an approximation (see Lissauer et al. 2011b).

        Habitable zone

        The following plot shows the approximate location of the planets in this system with respect to the habitable zone (green) and the size of the star (red). This is only an estimate, using the star's spectral type and mass. Note that if no green band is shown in the plot, then the planet's orbit is far outside the habitable zone. The equations of Selsis, Kasting et al are used to draw the inner and outer boundaries.
