    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_436_b

    Gliese 436 b / ˈ ɡ l iː z ə / (sometimes called GJ 436 b, [7] formally named Awohali [2]) is a Neptune-sized exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf Gliese 436. [1] It was the first hot Neptune discovered with certainty (in 2007) and was among the smallest-known transiting planets in mass and radius, until the much smaller Kepler exoplanet discoveries began circa 2010.

  3. Hot Neptune - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Neptune

    A hot Neptune is a type of giant planet with a mass similar to that of Neptune or Uranus orbiting close to its star, normally within less than 1 AU. [1] The first hot Neptune to be discovered with certainty was Gliese 436 b (Awohali) in 2007, an exoplanet about 33 light years away.

  4. Neptune - Wikipedia

    The relative "hot spot" is due to Neptune's axial tilt, which has exposed the south pole to the Sun for the last quarter of Neptune's year, or roughly 40 Earth years. As Neptune slowly moves towards the opposite side of the Sun, the south pole will be darkened and the north pole illuminated, causing the methane release to shift to the north pole.

    Vega b, reported in 2021, is a candidate ultra-hot Neptune with a mass of ≥21.9 M E that revolves around Vega every 2.43 days, a mere 0.04555 AU (6,814,000 km) from its luminous host star. The equilbrium temperature of the planet is a white-hot 3,250 K (2,980 °C; 5,390 °F) assuming a Bond albedo of 0.25, which, if confirmed, would make it ...

    Neptune is 30 AU from the Sun and takes 165 years to orbit it, but there are exoplanets that are thousands of AU from their star and take tens of thousands of years to orbit, e.g. GU Piscium b. [ 1 ] The radial-velocity and transit methods are most sensitive to planets with small orbits.
