Orbital architecture of the TOI-201 system compared to our Solar system. The diagram shows the orbits of the three known companions of TOI-201 drawn to scale alongside the four inner solar system planets and Jupiter. The orbits of the warm Jupiter, TOI-201 b, and super-Earth, TOI-201 d, both lie within the orbit of Mercury, while the highly eccentric orbit of the brown dwarf, TOI-201 c, brings it closer in than Mars and further out than Jupiter.
