About this world
HD 105779 b is a gas giant orbiting HD 105779, a yellow, Sun-like star (type G2) 180 light-years from Earth. It is about 1.3 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass), with at least 0.64 Jupiter masses (a minimum, measured by radial velocity). It completes an orbit every 6.6 years at 3.4 AU from its star.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 147 K (−126 °C): too cold for liquid water on its surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.
It was discovered in 2022 by radial velocity with La Silla Observatory. The star wobbles toward and away from us, Doppler-shifting its spectrum.
