About this world
HD 103774 b is a gas giant orbiting HD 103774, a yellow-white F-type star (type F5V) 184 light-years from Earth. It is about 1.2 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass), with at least 0.37 Jupiter masses (a minimum, measured by radial velocity). It completes an orbit every 5.89 days at 0.07 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 1,487 K (1,214 °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 2013 by radial velocity with La Silla Observatory. The star wobbles toward and away from us, Doppler-shifting its spectrum.
