TOI-5489 c
Astrophysical Synthesis & Habitability Characterization
TOI-5489 c is a confirmed super-earth exoplanet orbiting the star TOI-5489, located approximately 147.1 light-years (45.09 parsecs) from the Solar System. First announced in 2025 by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the Transit detection technique (producing an estimated primary transit depth of 0.0781% across the stellar disk), this world measures 1.28 Earth radii and has a measured mass of 2.18 Earth masses. Combining its mass and radius yields a mean bulk density of 5.73 g/cm³ (a terrestrial silicate-iron composition comparable to Earth (5.51 g/cm³)), a surface gravity of 1.33 g⊕ (13.04 m/s²), and an escape velocity of 14.6 km/s.
In its orbital architecture around TOI-5489, TOI-5489 c completes one full revolution every 4.921 Earth days.
⚠️ Thermal Regime (Irradiated / Hot Zone): At an equilibrium temperature of 536 K (+263°C / +505°F) and receiving 13.87 S⊕ (~18,872 W/m²), TOI-5489 c orbits interior to the runaway greenhouse boundary where surface liquid water cannot persist.
The host star TOI-5489 is classified as a stellar host with an effective photospheric temperature of 3,547 K, a radius of 0.42 R☉, a mass of 0.41 M☉, an estimated bolometric luminosity of 0.025 L☉. From Earth, TOI-5489 shines at apparent V-band magnitude 13.824 (faint and requiring research-grade or CCD telescopic photometry) in the Northern celestial hemisphere. The TOI-5489 system is a multi-planet architecture hosting 2 confirmed worlds, with TOI-5489 c sharing its stellar neighborhood alongside TOI-5489 b.
Methodology: Computed using the Schulze-Makuch et al. (2011) weighted metric comparing physical interior (radius, estimated density) and surface thermal regime (escape velocity, equilibrium temperature).
