4. τ (tau) Ceti b, c, d, e, f. Constellation: Cetus (the Whale). 11.9 LY; Sp= G8.5 M⊕= 2.0 &183; 3.1 &183; 3.6 &183; 4.3 &183; 6.6 Pd= 14 &183; 35 &183; 94 &183; 168 &183; 642. My names: Hanuman, Kali, Krishna, Vishnu, Ganesha. Slighly metal-poor; now considered to be about 1.3 BY older than the Sun. Planet e would be most habitable at the poles, planet f at the equator. [12/12]

5. Kapteyn's Star b,c. Constellation: Pictor (the Painter). 12.8 LY; Sp= M0 M= 4.8 · 7.0 ⊕ P,d= 48.6 · 121.54. My names: Absamon & Maccasor. Primary is a BY Drac variable and a halo star. Too old. [6/14]

My names: Yemaya, Lir, Khnum, Derya. Metallicity twice solar. Planets c & b are locked in an orbital resonance of 2:1. Yemaya is the nearest "Super-Earth"; Lir is only a little outside the habitable zone, & it may have satellites. Related artwork. There seems to be another planet, also in an orbital resonance, but with the fourth planet. Confirmed.

9. Gliese 832 b. Constellation: Grus (the Crane). AKA CD -49º 13515. LY= 16.1; Sp= M1.5 Mj= 0.64 Pd= 3416 (9.3y). My name: Thoth. Saturn analogue.

Pd= 3.13 · 5.4 · 12.9 · 36.6 · 66.8 · 433. My names: Cynosure, Avatar, Metaluna, Tormance, Usk, Filigree. [Metaluna is increasingly being referred to as Ymir (also, sometimes, Ialtera).] Avatar is a hot Neptune, and Metaluna & Usk are super-Earths located at just inside & at the outside edge of the habitable zone for this star. If Usk's rotation period were 33 days (half its year), as its tidal effect of 6.5 suggests, then the solar day would be 67 with a little over one month of daylight following a month of night. With 7.7M⊕ its radius should be around 1.7⊕ which makes for a hefty 2.6G⊕... More. My links. Note that Tormance seems much more likely now to be the habitable world in this system (October 2010). Metaluna animated. --Filigree & Tormance are now thought not to exist...

A 9.4 mag companion @ 106".6 as well. "Risper" has been used as a name for this system; it might be planet b. Thus: Risper, Magnyuya, Cefania, Abitan. [7/15] Flare star.

12. Gliese 667C b. Constellation: Scorpius. AKA Melbourne 4 C (A & B are also red dwarves, K3 & K5 in a close orbit of 42 years). LY= 22.7; Sp= M2 Mj= 0.018 Pd= 7. My name: Vinegaroon. Flare star; too young. A later addition: c or Manât. [2/12]

The stellar mass is given as 2.1; however, it best fits the evolutionary track of a 2.2 solar mass star with an age of 0.25 ± 0.15 b.y. By Bode-Titius, this should be the tenth planet. Not quite as cold as Neptune at a blackbody temp of 54 K, it is located near the Zone of Chaos. Dagon (12/15).

14. 61 Virginis b, c, d. Constellation: Virgo (the Virgin). LY= 27.8; Sp= G5-6 Mj= 0.016 · 0.0573 · 0.072 Pd= 4.215 · 38.021 · 123.01. My names: Hestia, Athena, Artemis.

19. Pollux b. Constellation: Gemini (the Twins). LY=33.7; Sp= K0III Mj≥ 2.3 Pd= 589.64 (1.6y). I'll go with the name that is already being used, which is: Polydeuces.

Star B is a methane brown dwarf type T7.5 at 476 AU; the age of the system is around 5.1 b.y.

24. GJ1214 b. Constellation: Ophiuchus (the Snake-holder). AKA Giclas 139-021. LY= 40.0; Sp= M4.5 Mj= 6.55 Pd= 1.6. My name for this "hot super-Earth": Nachash. 4/11: More.
