ApJ, submitted 2009 The planet e's eccentricity is poorly defined; varying values between 0 and 0.4 does not significantly improve the fit, so an eccentricity of 0.2 was assumed. paper   arxiv, The 55 Cancri System: Fundamental Stellar Parameters, Habitable Zone Planet, and Super-Earth Diameter And as soon as the discovery of 55 Cnc f was officially announced, the claim was made that this was the first planet to be found in the habitable zone (HZ) of another star [2]. ApJ., 675, 790 & Astrophys., 599, A56 ApJ., 701, 154 55 Cancri e is a super-Earth — about twice our planet's size — that zooms around its star in 18 days. The system consists of a K-type star (designated 55 Cancri A, also named Copernicus / k oʊ ˈ p ɜːr n ɪ k ə s /) and a smaller red dwarf (55 Cancri B). 2014 J., 153, 42 HORNER J. paper, On the Ages of Planetary Systems with Mean Motion Resonances arxiv, Elemental ratios in stars vs planets RAYMOND S., BARNES R. & GORELICK N. & Astrophys., 580, A30 55 Cancri d was discovered in 2002.. The lack of a deep convection zone would mean that the outer layers would retain higher abundance ratios of these heavy elements. [32] The next planet, b, is non-transiting but there is tentative evidence that it is surrounded by an extended atmosphere that does transit the star.[27]. The four previously reported planets are strongly confirmed here. paper  arxiv, Radial Velocity Data Analysis with Compressed Sensing Technique Astron. 2008 BAAS, 42, no 4, 27.20 The true mass is not known due to a limitation with the radial velocity method used to detect the planet. & Astrophys., accepted Mech. A fifth planet is presented, with an apparent orbital period of 260 days, placing it 0.78 AU from the star in the large empty zone between two other planets.

Astron. 2011 It is the second planet in order of distance from its star, and is an example of a hot Jupiter, or possibly rather "warm Jupiter".

ApJ, 759, 19 [41] The observed transits of e suggest an orbit normal inclined within 9° to the line-of-sight, and a possible detection of the transit of an extended atmosphere around 55 Cancri b would, if confirmed, imply that it too is in an orbit that is close to edge-on. PASP, 124, 323 The message was named Cosmic Call 2; it was sent on July 6, 2003, and it will arrive at 55 Cancri in May 2044. 55 Cancri, Rho1 Cancri, HIP 43587, BD+28°1660, Gliese 324, HD 75732, HR 3522: Spectral Type: G8V: Mass: 0.9500 Solar Masses: Radius: 596,718.7804 Km 370,783.8598 Miles 0.8574 Solar Radii: Density: 2.1231 grams/cc: Rotation Period: 1,012.8000 Hours 42.2000 Days Temperature: 5,570.0000 K: Luminosity (bolometric): 0.6300: Luminosity (visual): 0.3238 FISCHER, D. However, it is possible that the planet could possess habitable exomoons, though it is not known if 55 Cancri f possesses any. [17] The planet was discovered by measuring the star's radial velocity, which showed a periodicity of around 14.7 days corresponding to a planet at least 78% of the mass of Jupiter.

HOLLIS M., BALAN S., LEVER G. & LAHAV O. 2018 ApJ. 2008 Even after accounting for these two planets, a periodicity at 43 days remained, possibly due to a third planet. It orbits in the so-called "habitable zone," which means that liquid water could exist on the surface of a possible moon.

These radial velocity measurements still showed a drift unaccounted-for by this planet, which could be explained by the gravitational influence of a more distant object.
