About this world
TIC 245076932 b is a gas giant orbiting TIC 245076932, a yellow-white F-type star 991 light-years from Earth. It is about 0.97 times the size of Jupiter and holds 0.51 Jupiter masses. It completes an orbit every 21.6 days at 0.16 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun, on a strongly elongated orbit (e = 0.43).
Its equilibrium temperature is about 845 K (572 °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 2026 by transit with Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction.
