About this world

HD 11505 b is a gas giant orbiting HD 11505, a yellow, Sun-like star 127 light-years from Earth. It is about 1.1 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 7.9 Jupiter masses. It completes an orbit every 89.4 years at 20 AU from its star.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 67 K (−206 °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 Multiple Observatories. The star wobbles toward and away from us, Doppler-shifting its spectrum.
