Characteristics
The planet has a mass about half that of Jupiter and orbits at a distance of 0.921 AU from the star with a period of 310.55 days. The planet may be located at a distance close enough to the star to receive a comparable amount of ultraviolet radiation as the Earth does from the Sun. However, it is too close to the star to be able to support liquid water at its surface.[2] Furthermore, given its mass, the planet is likely to be a gas giant with no solid surface.
Name
In July 2014 the International Astronomical Union launched NameExoWorlds, 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 Rocinante for this planet.[5] The winning name was submitted by the Planetario de Pamplona, Spain. Rocinante was the horse of the lead character of the novel El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha.[6]

[es] Rocinante (planeta)
Rocinante (también conocido como Mu Arae d)[2] es el tercer planeta extrasolar en ser descubierto alrededor de la estrella Cervantes y el segundo en distancia desde su estrella. El mismo está situado en la constelación de Ara, a una distancia aproximada de 49,8 años luz de la Tierra. Su descubrimiento fue realizado el 5 de agosto de 2006, mediante el estudio de la velocidad radial de su estrella.[ru] Мю Жертвенника d
