TOI 1338 is a binary star system, discovered by TESS, and TESS's first binary system confirmed to contain a planet, called a circumbinary planet. The system is 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Pictor.[1][2] The two stars with masses of about 1.2 and 0.325 M☉ revolve around each other every 14.6 days.[3] The planet TOI 1338 b is estimated to be 6.9 Earth masses, orbiting the pair every 94 days.[4]

Nomenclature and history

The acronym "TOI" refers to stars and exoplanets studied by TESS, and is short for: "Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite Object of Interest".
