Discovered in 2006, OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb is the coldest known exoplanet, and was nicknamed "Hoth" by NASA in reference to the planet from the Star Wars franchise. [1] All temperatures here are equilibrium temperatures. The coldest planet with a measured temperature is Epsilon Indi b, but too hot to be in the list.
The ECWG's rules for naming exoplanets are identical to those adopted by the Minor Planet Center for minor planets. [2] Names are a single word consisting of sixteen characters or less, pronounceable in some language, non-offensive, and not identical to existing proper names of astronomical objects. [3]
This causes one side of the planet to be scorching hot and always daytime. The opposite side is cool and always night. Because of its closeness to the star, a year on Tylos only lasts about 30 hours.
OGLE detected the microlensing effect produced by the star OGLE-2005-BLG-390L, and it was the PLANET team's follow-up observations and analysis which uncovered evidence of the planet itself. [6] The PLANET team conducted close observation of the OGLE-2005-BLG-390 microlensing event over a period of about two weeks.
TRAPPIST-1 is a cool red dwarf star [c] with seven known exoplanets.It lies in the constellation Aquarius about 40.66 light-years away from Earth, and has a surface temperature of about 2,566 K (2,290 °C; 4,160 °F).
The cool planet imaging coronagraph (CPI-C) aims to realize high-contrast (< 10 −8) direct imaging of exoplanets with an inner working angle (IWA) of 0.35′′ in the visible (0.6328 μm). It plans to follow up exoplanets discovered by radial velocity observations, study planet formation and evolution, and probe protoplanetary disks. [15]
[3] [9] [14] [15] A planet in the shape of a torus is the setting of Flint's 1921 short story "The Emancipatrix", being the result of the protoplanetary disk condensing so quickly that it did not coalesce into a spherical shape first; an artificial planet-sized torus also appears in John P. Boyd [Wikidata] 's 1981 short story "Moonbow", while ...
