              Description The HD 40307 system hosts four confirmed planets. The first three planets were discovered in 2008, planet f was discovered in 2012. The HD 40307 system hosts four confirmed planets. The first three planets were discovered in 2008, planet f was discovered in 2012. The HD 40307 system hosts four confirmed planets. The first three planets were discovered in 2008, planet f was discovered in 2012. The planet candidate HD 40307 e was announced in 2012 but was not confirmed in a follow-up analysis. The HD 40307 system hosts four confirmed planets. The first three planets were discovered in 2008, planet f was discovered in 2012. The planet candidate HD 40307 g would be a sub-Neptune planet located in the habitable zone of the star. Follow-up analysis of the HARPS data for the system did not confirm this planet candidate. The spectral window function has peaks near this period, and there is also the possibility that it is an alias of the star's activity cycle.

              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.
