Nu2 Lupi (ν2 Lupi) is a 6th magnitude G-type main-sequence star located approximately 48 light-years away in the constellation of Lupus. The physical properties of the star are similar to those of the Sun, though Nu 2 Lupi is significantly older.

Described as having “no known equivalent,” the planet—called Nu2 Lupi d—is about 2.5 times the size of Earth and regarded as too hot to be uninhabitable. However, its properties and orbit make...

This infographic reveals the details of the Nu2 Lupi planetary system, which was recently explored by ESA’s exoplanet watcher Cheops (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite).

Nearby star Nu2 Lupi is a main sequence star that fuses hydrogen atoms into helium. It is approximately 100 % of the size of Sun and temperature on its surface is around 5730 K (5457 °C), which is about 99 % of Sun's temperature.

Nu2 Lupi is a yellow-orange main sequence dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type G2-5 V. Similar to Sol (Giusa Cayrel de Strobel, 1996), this "Solar analogue" may have 1.02 times Sol's mass (NASA Stars and Exoplanet Database, based on the interpolation table of David F. Gray ), around 99 percent of its diameter (Pasinetti-Fracassini et al ...
