Confirmed exoplanet · Database record + computed analysis
HD 97048 b
A confirmed world orbiting HD 97048, 599.7 light-years away.
A gas giant
13.30 Earth radii, Jupiter-class (Jupiter is 11.2). At only 794.6 Earth masses for that size, it must be substantially gas or volatile ices: puffy, not rocky.
Temperature and starlight
Its equilibrium temperature (the airless-world estimate) is about -210 °C. Deep-freeze territory, colder than Antarctica's worst. It receives only 0.00 times Earth's starlight.
Its sun
Its star is hotter than the Sun (10,000 K, Be9.5/AO), burning brighter and faster.
How far is that, really?
At 600 light-years, tonight's light from this system left it around the year 1426. A Voyager-speed probe would need roughly 10,609,563 years to get there.
Everything above is computed from the archive’s measured values for this planet. Where a quantity is missing, the statement is omitted rather than guessed.
About this record
The measured values come from the NASA Exoplanet Archive, and any missing value has not been determined yet; the Atlas never fills gaps with guesses. More standout worlds: Proxima b, TRAPPIST-1e, K2-18 b, 55 Cancri e, and the detection methods that found them all.
