}}55 Cancri f (abbreviated 55 Cnc f), also designated Rho1 Cancri f and named Harriot, is an extrasolar planet approximately 41 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cancer (the Crab). 55 Cancri f is the fourth known planet (in order of distance) from the star 55 Cancri and the first planet to have been given the designation of "f".[2]

In July 2014 the International Astronomical Union launched a process for giving proper names to certain exoplanets and their host stars.[3] The process involved public nomination and voting for the new names.[4] In December 2015, the IAU announced the winning name was Harriot for this planet.[5] The winning name was submitted by the Royal Netherlands Association for Meteorology and Astronomy of the Netherlands. It honors the astronomer Thomas Harriot.[6]

Discovery

The initial presentation of this planet occurred at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in April 2005,[7] however it was another two and a half years before the planet was to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.[1] It is the first known planet outside our solar system to spend its entire orbit within what astronomers call the "habitable zone".[8] Furthermore, its discovery made 55 Cancri the first star other than the Sun known to have at least five planets.

Orbit and mass

55 Cancri f is located about 0.781 AU away from the star and takes 262 days to complete a full orbit.[9] A limitation of the radial velocity method used to detect 55 Cancri f is that only a minimum mass can be obtained, in this case around 0.144 times that of Jupiter, or half the mass of Saturn.[9] A Keplerian fit to the radial velocity data of 55 Cancri A indicates that the orbit is consistent with being circular, however changing the value in a range between 0 and 0.4 does not significantly alter the chi-squared statistic of the fit, thus a representative eccentricity of 0.2±0.2 was assumed.[1] In a Newtonian model which takes interactions between the planets into account, the eccentricity comes out as 0.0002, almost perfectly circular.[1]

Astrometric observations made with the Hubble Space Telescope suggest that the outer planet 55 Cancri d is inclined at 53° with respect to the plane of the sky.[10] The inner planets b and e are inclined at 85°. The inclination of f is unknown.

Characteristics

Since the planet was detected indirectly through observations of its star, properties such as its radius, composition and temperature are unknown. With a mass half that of Saturn,[9] 55 Cancri f is likely to be a gas giant with no solid surface. It orbits in the so-called "habitable zone," which means that liquid water could exist on the surface of a possible moon.[8]

It is not known if the composition and appearance is more like that of Saturn or Neptune.[2] Based on its temperature, it should be a Sudarsky Class II planet, covered in water clouds.{{citation needed|date=May 2012}}
