Chaorin System

Chaorin A is a K-type main sequence star emitting a warm, subdued white light with lower luminosity than Sol. Its reduced stellar output shifts the habitable zone inward while minimizing extreme ultraviolet radiation, allowing planetary atmosphere to persist without excessive erosion.

The star exhibits low flare activity and a stable magnetic cycle, making it particularly favorable for long-term atmospheric retention on nearby terrestrial planets. Current age estimates suggest the system is relatively young, having not yet surpassed the three-billion-year mark, and remains in an early stage of stellar and planetary evolution. 

Chaorin b is a dense rocky planet orbiting close to Chaorin A, well inside the system’s habitable zone. Its proximity to the star results in elevated surface temperatures and significant stellar irradiation, limiting the retention of a thick atmosphere. The planet’s surface is believed to be dominated by exposed rock and mineral-rich plains, shaped by thermal stress and early volcanic activity.

Despite the relatively gentle nature of its host star, Chaorin b experiences strong day–night temperature contrasts due to its short orbital period. Geological modeling suggests a partially molten mantle and a history of resurfacing events, indicating that the planet remains internally active even in the system’s early evolutionary stage.

Chaorin c is a terrestrial planet located within the inward-shifted habitable zone of Chaorin A. Its surface displays a balanced distribution of landmasses and shallow oceans, accompanied by extensive cloud systems that indicate an active hydrological cycle. Polar ice caps are present but limited in extent, suggesting a globally temperate climate rather than extreme glaciation.

The planet possesses a dense, stable atmosphere that supports large-scale atmospheric circulation and long-lived weather patterns. Chaorin c’s relatively young age, combined with the star’s low flare activity, has allowed its atmosphere to remain intact while surface conditions continue to evolve, making it one of the most Earth-like bodies currently identified in the system.

Chaorin d is a massive gas giant occupying the outer regions of the Chaorin system, orbiting far beyond the terrestrial planets. Its atmosphere is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, with faint banding visible beneath high-altitude cloud layers. Due to its distance from the star, the planet receives limited stellar energy, resulting in subdued atmospheric dynamics.

The planet plays a stabilizing role within the system, influencing the orbits of inner bodies and reducing the inward migration of debris. Although no prominent ring system has been confirmed, Chaorin d is believed to host several minor moons, contributing to the long-term gravitational structure of the outer system.
