PSR B1257+12 C
PSR B1257+12 d (ex PSR B1257+12 C) is an extrasolar planet approximately 980 light-years away in the constellation of Virgo (the Virgin). PSR B1257+12C was one of the first planets ever discovered outside the Solar system, and is currently the third object known to be orbiting the pulsar PSR B1257+12. The planet is nearly four times as massive as the Earth.
==Name==
The planets of PSR B1257+12 are designated from A to D (ordered by increasing distance). The reason that these planets are not named the same as the other extrasolar planets is mainly because of the time of their discovery. Being the first ''ever'' extrasolar planets discovered, and being discovered around a pulsar, the planets were given the uppercase letters "B" and "C" (like other planets). When a third planet was discovered around the system (in a closer orbit than the other two), the name "A" was commonly used. The name 51 Pegasi b (the first planet found around a Sun-like star) was the idea used for naming planets around regular stars.
The planet and its host star is one of the planetary systems selected by the International Astronomical Union as part of their public process for giving proper names to exoplanets and their host star (where no proper name already exists).〔(NameExoWorlds: An IAU Worldwide Contest to Name Exoplanets and their Host Stars ). IAU.org. 9 July 2014〕〔(NameExoWorlds ).〕 The process involves public nomination and voting for the new names, and the IAU plans to announce the new names in mid-November 2015.〔(NameExoWorlds ).〕
