| Planet | Orbital period | Distance from star | Radius (Earths) | Mass (Earths) | Found | Method |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GJ 251 b | 14.24 days | 0.0808 AU | at least 3.85 | 2020 | Radial Velocity | |
| GJ 251 c | 53.65 days | 0.196 AU | at least 3.88 | 2025 | Radial Velocity |
"At least" is a minimum mass. Radial velocity can only measure mass times the sine of the orbit's tilt.
