About this world

TOI-3693 b is a gas giant orbiting TOI-3693, a yellow, Sun-like star 575 light-years from Earth. It is about 1.1 times the size of Jupiter and holds 1 Jupiter masses. It completes an orbit every 9.09 days at 0.081 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 801 K (528 °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 2022 by transit with Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction.
