Confirmed exoplanet · Database record + computed analysis
M62H b
A confirmed world orbiting M62H.
A giant planet
about 785 Earth masses (Jupiter is 318).
The orbit
Its year lasts about 3.2 hours, making it an ultra-short-period planet skimming its star.
How we found it
It was found by pulsar timing: irregularities in a dead star's metronome-precise radio pulses. Planets around pulsars either survived a supernova or formed from its wreckage. The discovery was announced in 2024 from South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO).
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.
