About this world
HD 99283 b is a gas giant orbiting HD 99283, a giant star (type K0III) 362 light-years from Earth. It is about 1.2 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass), with at least 0.97 Jupiter masses (a minimum, measured by radial velocity). It completes an orbit every 310 days at 1.1 AU from its star.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 759 K (486 °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 2021 by radial velocity with Okayama Astrophysical Observatory. The star wobbles toward and away from us, Doppler-shifting its spectrum.
