Kepler-16 b
Kepler-16 b stands in the Codex as the first confirmed circumbinary planet that transits both of its stars — the real Tatooine world. A Saturn-density giant about 8.4 × Earth across and roughly 106 Earth masses, it orbits a K-dwarf and M-dwarf pair 245 light-years away once every 229 days. Its path sits near the […]
WASP-39 b
WASP-39 b resides in the Codex as the puffy Saturn-mass world that opened JWST’s exoplanet chemistry era. It transits a Sun-like G-type star about 698 light-years away, with a radius of 14.3 × Earth and a mass near 89 Earths, Saturn-like heft under a swollen envelope. Early Release Science spectra delivered the first unambiguous carbon-dioxide […]
51 Pegasi b
51 Pegasi b orbits a Sun-like G-type star 50 light-years from Earth, a scorching gas giant with a radius of 14.1 × Earth. Completing an orbit every 4.23 days at 0.052 AU, it endures intense radiation far inside the habitable zone. That tight path around a familiar star overturned the idea that giant planets belong […]
WASP-76 b
WASP-76 b orbits a hot F-type star 634 light-years from Earth, an ultrahot gas giant with a radius of 20.8 × Earth. Completing an orbit every 1.81 days at 0.033 AU, it endures dayside heat high enough for iron to exist as vapor, then cool and rain toward the night side at dusk. Tidally locked […]
TOI-5628 A b
TOI-5628 A b stands as a substantial gas giant in the cosmic record, circling its cool red dwarf host on a tight path that keeps it bathed in steady stellar warmth. With a bulk that places it firmly among the larger worlds of the galaxy, this planet shares its stellar neighborhood with a distant white […]
TOI-6019 b
TOI-6019 b resides eternally in the universal record as a captivating gas giant whose precise radius and mass illuminate the dynamics of eccentric warm Jupiters. Encircling a G-type sub-giant, it showcases the varied outcomes of planetary evolution, from tidal heating to envelope structures that defy simple categorization. This entry enriches the codex with evidence of […]
TOI-2147 b
TOI-2147 b graces the cosmic codex as a well-characterized gas giant, its measured radius and mass painting a portrait of mild inflation amid an eccentric orbit around a bright F-type star. This world contributes to the rich tapestry of warm Jupiters, revealing pathways of migration and tidal influences that sculpt planetary destinies over eons. Its […]
NGTS-38 b
NGTS-38 b endures as a colossal gas giant recorded in the universe’s enduring ledger, a super-Jupiter nearly five times Jupiter’s mass gracefully traversing an eccentric path around its F-type sun. Its robust measurements reveal a dense core wrapped in expansive layers, highlighting the diversity of giant planets that challenge and refine models of formation across […]
Beta Pictoris d
Beta Pictoris d stands as a majestic gas giant enshrined in the eternal archives of the cosmos, circling its brilliant A-type host amid a vibrant debris disk teeming with planetary siblings. With its substantial girth exceeding 14 Earth radii, this world embodies the grandeur of youthful stellar systems where formation processes sculpt dynamic architectures. Its […]
TOI-1232 b
TOI-1232 b is a majestic gas giant circling a Sun-like G-type star at a distance that keeps it fiercely hot yet stable in its orbit. Nearly Jupiter-sized at 10.9 times Earth’s radius and carrying 0.69 Jupiter masses, it possesses a thick atmosphere of swirling clouds and fierce winds. Astronomers gaze in wonder at this distant […]
