TOI-7510 c
Astrophysical Synthesis & Habitability Characterization
TOI-7510 c is a confirmed gas giant exoplanet orbiting the star TOI-7510, located approximately 812.1 light-years (249.01 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 0.9169% across the stellar disk), this world measures 10.81 Earth radii (0.96 Jupiter radii) and has a measured mass of 131 Earth masses (0.41 Jupiter masses). Combining its mass and radius yields a mean bulk density of 0.57 g/cm³ (a low bulk density dominated by an extended hydrogen-helium gaseous envelope), a surface gravity of 1.12 g⊕ (10.98 m/s²), and an escape velocity of 38.9 km/s.
In its orbital architecture around TOI-7510, TOI-7510 c completes one full revolution every 22.569 Earth days at a semi-major axis of 0.1595 AU (orbiting interior to Mercury's 0.387 AU benchmark in the Solar System). Its mean orbital velocity is approximately 76.9 km/s (compared to Earth's 29.8 km/s). With a near-circular eccentricity of e = 0.0091 (ranging from 0.158 AU at periapsis to 0.161 AU at apoapsis), the planet experiences minimal orbital distance variation.
⚠️ Thermal Regime (Irradiated / Hot Zone): At an equilibrium temperature of 702 K (+429°C / +804°F) and receiving 92.41 S⊕ (~125,768 W/m²), TOI-7510 c orbits interior to the runaway greenhouse boundary where surface liquid water cannot persist.
The host star TOI-7510 is classified as a solar-type yellow star of spectral type G3 with an effective photospheric temperature of 5,720 K, a radius of 1.035 R☉, a mass of 1.063 M☉, an estimated bolometric luminosity of 1.029 L☉. Stellar evolution modeling indicates an estimated stellar age of 4.4 Gyr and a metallicity of [Fe/H] = 0.25 dex (metal-rich relative to the Sun). From Earth, TOI-7510 shines at apparent V-band magnitude 11.989 (faint and requiring research-grade or CCD telescopic photometry) in the Southern celestial hemisphere. The TOI-7510 system is a multi-planet architecture hosting 3 confirmed worlds, with TOI-7510 c sharing its stellar neighborhood alongside TOI-7510 b, TOI-7510 d.
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).
