TOI-4504 d
TOI-4504 d is a cold gas giant orbiting TOI-4504 in the constellation Carina. It lies about 1,117 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2024 using the transit timing variations method.
How Big Is TOI-4504 d?
TOI-4504 d has a radius of 11.26 times that of Earth, or 1.00 times the radius of Jupiter. Its mass is 643 times that of Earth, giving it a density of 2.48 g/cm³ — between that of rocky and gaseous planets.
Is TOI-4504 d in the Habitable Zone?
The position of TOI-4504 d relative to the habitable zone of TOI-4504 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Temperature on TOI-4504 d
The equilibrium temperature of TOI-4504 d is about 525 K (252 °C) — hotter than anywhere on Earth. This estimate ignores any atmosphere, which could change surface temperatures dramatically — Earth's greenhouse effect adds about 33 °C.
Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-4504 d — one full orbit around TOI-4504 — lasts 41.3 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.222 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun. Its orbit is mildly elliptical (eccentricity 0.29).
How Was TOI-4504 d Discovered?
TOI-4504 d was discovered in 2024 using the transit timing variations method, with observations from Multiple Observatories.
Transit timing variations reveal a planet through its gravitational tug on a sibling planet, which makes that sibling's transits arrive slightly early or late. The pattern of these deviations betrays the hidden planet's mass and orbit.
How Far Away Is TOI-4504 d?
TOI-4504 d is 1,117.4 light-years (342.6 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet about 1,117 years ago. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 19,666,240 years to make the journey.
