HD 80606 b (also Struve 1341 Bb or HIP 45982 b) is an eccentric hot Jupiter 217 light-years from the Sun in the constellation of Ursa Major. HD 80606 b was discovered orbiting the star HD 80606 in April 2001 by a team led by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz. [2] . With a mass 4 times that of Jupiter, it is a gas giant.

Oct 24, 2024 · HD 80606 b is a gas giant exoplanet that orbits a G-type star. Its mass is 4.38 Jupiters, it takes 111.4 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.4565 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in 2001.

Mar 28, 2016 · As common as hot Jupiters are now known to be, they are still shrouded in mystery. How did these massive orbs form, and how did they wind up so shockingly close to their stars? The Spitzer telescope found new clues by observing a hot Jupiter known as HD 80606b, situated 190 light-years from Earth.

Apr 25, 2024 · HD 80606b is a gas giant planet in an eccentric orbit around its star. Every 111 days, the planet passes within 2.8 million miles of the star's surface. Animated with dissolves between frames.

Jan 28, 2009 · Now, thanks to NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, scientists have measured how this planet’s atmosphere responds to a super-summer day. This model of HD 80606b shows the stormy response of the planet’s atmosphere 4.4 days after it passed 2.8 million miles from its star.

Jan 29, 2009 · When the Spitzer Space Telescope observed HD 80606b in November 2007, the alien planet briefly ducked behind its host star. Locations of short black bars assume the planet has a tidally locked rotation period of 40.7 hours.

HD 80606 and HD 80607 are two stars comprising a binary star system. They are 215 light-years away in the constellation of Ursa Major. Both stars orbit each other at an average distance of 1,200 astronomical units.

Mar 28, 2016 · Astronomers watched an exoplanet called HD 80606b heat up and cool off during its sizzling-hot orbit around its star. The results are shown in this data plot from NASA’s …

Jan 28, 2009 · This figure charts 30 hours of observations taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope of a strongly irradiated exoplanet (an planet orbiting a star beyond our own). Spitzer measured changes in the planet's heat, or infrared light.

Jan 28, 2009 · PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has observed a planet that heats up to red-hot temperatures in a matter of hours before quickly cooling back down. The "hot-headed" planet is HD 80606b, a gas giant that orbits a star 190 light-years from Earth.
