Confirmed exoplanet · Database record + computed analysis
TOI-1232 c
A confirmed world orbiting TOI-1232, 1,071.8 light-years away.
A gas giant
8.88 Earth radii, Jupiter-class (Jupiter is 11.2). At only 58.5 Earth masses for that size, it must be substantially gas or volatile ices: puffy, not rocky.
The orbit
Its year, one full orbit, takes just 30.4 Earth days.
Temperature and starlight
Its equilibrium temperature (the airless-world estimate) is about 387 °C. Above water's boiling point. It receives 31.4 times the starlight Earth gets.
Its sun
Its star is Sun-like (5,823 K, G1 V; the Sun is 5,772 K). It shares the system with 1 other known planet.
How far is that, really?
At 1,072 light-years, tonight's light from this system left it around the year 954. A Voyager-speed probe would need roughly 18,962,264 years to get there.
How we found it
It was found through transit timing variations: its gravity nudges a sibling planet's transits early and late, betraying its presence without ever being seen directly. The discovery was announced in 2026 from Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
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.
