Distribution of nearby exoplanets

There are 7,026 known exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system that orbit a star, as of July 24, 2024; only a small fraction of these are located in the vicinity of the Solar System.[2] Within 10 parsecs (32.6 light-years), there are 56 known exoplanets.[a][3] In that range there are over 400 known stars,[b][4] 26 of which have been confirmed to have planetary systems. 51 of those stars are visible to the naked-eye,[5][c] and 8 have confirmed exoplanets.

The first report of an exoplanet within this range was in 1998 for a planet revolving around Gliese 876 (15.3 light-years (ly) away), and the latest is one around Ross 128 (11 ly) in 2017. The closest exoplanet found is Proxima Centauri b, which was confirmed in 2016 to orbit Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Solar System (4.25 ly). With six, HD 219134 (21.6 ly) has the highest count of discovered exoplanets. A planet around Fomalhaut (25 ly) was, in 2008, the first planet to be directly imaged.[6]

Most nearby exoplanets found revolve close to their star and tend to have highly eccentric orbits. Most are significantly larger than Earth, but a few have similar masses, including two planets (around YZ Ceti, 12 ly) which may be less massive than Earth. Several confirmed exoplanets are hypothesized to be potentially habitable, with Proxima Centauri b and three around Gliese 667 C (23.6 ly) considered the most likely candidates for habitability.[7] The International Astronomical Union took a public survey in 2015 towards renaming some known extrasolar bodies, including the planets around Epsilon Eridani (10.5 ly) and Fomalhaut.[8]

Excluded objects

Unlike for bodies within our Solar System, there is no clearly established method for officially recognizing an exoplanet. The International Astronomical Union has detailed that "a period of at least five years since the discovery has been considered as a simple and satisfactory criterion to include exoplanets which can be considered as confirmed".[57] There have been examples where the existence of exoplanets has been proposed, but even after follow-up studies their existence is still considered doubtful by some astronomers. Such cases involving nearby stars with exoplanetary candidates that have yet to be tagged as confirmed in the NASA Exoplanet Archive include: Alpha Centauri (4.36 ly, two in 2012[58] and 2013[59]), Lalande 21185 (8.31 ly, in 2017[60]), Groombridge 34 (11.7 ly, two in 2014[61] and 2017[62]), Epsilon Indi (11.8 ly, in 2002[63]), LHS 288 (15.6 ly, in 2007[64]), 40 Eridani (16.3 ly, in 2018[65]), Gliese 682 (16.6 ly, two in 2014[7][66][67]), and Gliese 229 (18.8 ly, in 2014[68]). There are also some instances where proposed exoplanets were later disproven by subsequent studies, such as candidates around Teegarden's star (12.6 ly),[69] Van Maanen 2 (13.9 ly),[70] Groombridge 1618 (15.9 ly),[71] and VB 10 (18.7 ly).[72]

The Working Group on Extrasolar Planets of the International Astronomical Union adopted in 2003 a working definition on the upper limit for what constitutes a planet: not being massive enough to sustain thermonuclear fusion of deuterium. Some studies have calculated this to be somewhere around 13 times the mass of Jupiter, and therefore objects more massive than this are usually classified as brown dwarfs.[73] Some proposed candidate exoplanets were later shown to be massive enough to fall above the threshold of 13 Jupiter masses, and are likely brown dwarfs, as was the case for: SCR 1845-6357 B (12.6 ly),[74] SDSS J1416+1348 B (29.7 ly),[75] and WISE 1217+1626 B (33 ly).[76]

Excluded from the current list are known examples of potential free-floating sub-brown dwarfs, or "rogue planets", which are bodies that are too small to undergo fusion yet they do not revolve around a star. Known such examples include: WISE 0855–0714 (7.3 ly),[77] UGPS 0722-05, (13 ly)[78] and WISE 1541−2250 (18.6 ly).[79]

  1. ^ Listed values are primarily taken from NASA Exoplanet Archive,[3] but other databases include a few exoplanet entries tagged as "Confirmed" that are have yet to be compiled into the NASA archive. Such databases include:

  2. ^ For reference, the 104th closest know star system in November 2016 was 82 Eridani (19.7 ly).[82]
  3. ^ According to the Bortle scale, an astronomical object visible to the naked eye under "typical" dark-sky conditions in a rural area if it has an apparent magnitude smaller than +6.5. To the unaided eye, the limiting magnitude is +7.6 to +8.0 under "excellent" dark-sky conditions (with effort).[80]
  4. ^ Exoplanet naming convention assigns uncapitalized letters starting from b to each planet based on chronological order of their initial report, and in increasing order of distance from the parent star for planets reported at the same time. Omitted letters signify planets that have yet to be confirmed, or planets that have been retracted altogether.
  5. ^ Most reported exoplanet masses have very large error margins (typically, between 10% and 30%). The mass of an exoplanet has generally been inferred from measurements on changes in the radial velocity of the host star, but this kind of measurement only allows for an estimate on the exoplanet's orbital parameters, but not on their orbital inclination (i). As such, most exoplanets only have an estimated minimum mass (Mreal*sin(i)), where their true masses are statistically expected to come close to this minimum, with only about 13% chance for the mass of an exoplanet to be more than double its minimum mass.[83]
