Brahe

Copernicus (also designated Rho¹ Cancri or 55 Cancri) is a relatively Sun-like yellow-orange star in the constellation of Cancer, some forty-one light years from the Solar System. This is a binary system, in which the yellow primary is orbited by a red dwarf, and also notably by a system of five known planets. The primary star and its planets are each named for important figures in the history of astronomy, and one of these is a probable gas giant named for the sixteenth-century Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe.

Four of the five planets of the Copernicus system orbit close to their star, within the radius of the Earth's orbit around the Sun, and Brahe is the third of these from its star. The planet has more than fifty times the mass of Earth, which equates to about 0.16 that of Jupiter, making Brahe most likely a rather small gas giant. Brahe's orbit has a semi-major axis of 0.24 AU (placing it closer to Copernicus than Mercury is to the Sun, even though two other Copernican planets follow closer orbits). A 'year' on Brahe - that is, the time taken by the planet to complete a single orbit - would last a little over fourty-four days.
