        Description Psi-1 Draconis is a triple star system containing the spectroscopic binary Psi-1 Draconis AC, and their distant companion Psi-1 Draconis B. The radial velocities of Psi-1 Draconis B indicate the presence of a jovian planet on an eccentric, long-period orbit and a trend indicating the presence of an additional companion. The trend is not compatible with being caused by Psi-1 Draconis AC, so indicates the presence of an additional, likely substellar object outside the orbit of the known jovian planet.

        Planet sizes

        The following plot shows the approximate sizes of the planets in this system The Solar System planets are shown as a comparison. Note that unless the radius has been determined through a transit observation, this is only an approximation (see Lissauer et al. 2011b).

        Habitable zone

        The following plot shows the approximate location of the planets in this system with respect to the habitable zone (green) and the size of the star (red). This is only an estimate, using the star's spectral type and mass. Note that if no green band is shown in the plot, then the planet's orbit is far outside the habitable zone. The equations of Selsis, Kasting et al are used to draw the inner and outer boundaries.
