description HIP 14810 b Overview
HIP 14810 b is a gas-giant exoplanet orbiting the star HIP 14810, a Sun-like star in the constellation Pisces. It was identified through the radial-velocity method, which detects the small back-and-forth motion caused by an orbiting planet, and was reported in 2006. The system contains additional known planets, and HIP 14810 b follows an eccentric orbit rather than a nearly circular one.
help HIP 14810 b FAQ
What kind of planet is HIP 14810 b?
It is a gas giant with a mass of about 3.9 Jupiter masses, orbiting a G-type star in Pisces. NASA lists an orbital distance near 0.0696 AU and a period of about 6.7 days.
How was HIP 14810 b discovered?
The planet was found with the radial-velocity method, which detects the star's wobble rather than a transit. Its discovery was announced in 2005, with the discovery paper associated with Butler and collaborators in 2006.
Is HIP 14810 b the only planet in its system?
No, HIP 14810 has at least three confirmed planets: b, c, and d. The archive lists c at about 147.75 days and d at about 981.8 days, so b is the close-in inner planet.
Why is HIP 14810 b called a hot Jupiter?
Its mass is Jupiter-like, but it orbits only about 0.0696 AU from its star and completes a year in 6.7 days. That close orbit exposes the gas giant to strong stellar heating, which is the basic hot-Jupiter definition.
