TOI-5630 b
Astrophysical Synthesis & Habitability Characterization
TOI-5630 b is a confirmed sub-neptune exoplanet orbiting the star TOI-5630, located approximately 437.2 light-years (134.05 parsecs) from the Solar System. First announced in 2026 by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the Transit detection technique (producing an estimated primary transit depth of 0.0542% across the stellar disk), this world measures 2.371 Earth radii and has a measured mass of 6.22 Earth masses. Combining its mass and radius yields a mean bulk density of 2.57 g/cm³ (an intermediate density indicative of a deep water-ice mantle or dense volatile envelope), a surface gravity of 1.11 g⊕ (10.89 m/s²), and an escape velocity of 18.1 km/s.
In its orbital architecture around TOI-5630, TOI-5630 b completes one full revolution every 3.221 Earth days.
⚠️ Thermal Regime (Irradiated / Hot Zone): At an equilibrium temperature of 1541 K (+1268°C / +2314°F) and receiving 937.88 S⊕ (~1,276,460 W/m²), TOI-5630 b orbits interior to the runaway greenhouse boundary where surface liquid water cannot persist.
The host star TOI-5630 is classified as a stellar host with an effective photospheric temperature of 5,386 K, a radius of 0.9334 R☉, a mass of 0.934 M☉, an estimated bolometric luminosity of 0.658 L☉. Stellar evolution modeling indicates a metallicity of [Fe/H] = 0.135 dex (metal-rich relative to the Sun). From Earth, TOI-5630 shines at apparent V-band magnitude 10.896 (faint and requiring research-grade or CCD telescopic photometry) in the Northern celestial hemisphere.
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).
