About this world

2MASS J11550485-7919108 b is a gas giant orbiting 2MASS J11550485-7919108, a cool red dwarf 329 light-years from Earth. It is about 1.1 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 20 Jupiter masses.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 2,506 K (2,233 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.

It was discovered in 2024 by direct imaging with European Space Agency (ESA) Gaia Satellite. The planet itself is photographed, its star blocked by a coronagraph.
