# HIP 55507 b

HIP 55507 b is a gas giant in the constellation [Ursa Major](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/ursa-major), 83.13 ly from Earth. It orbits HIP 55507 at a mean distance of 5.062 AU. It has a mass of 8.14 M♃ and a radius of 1.12 R♃ · 80 364 km. It was discovered in 2022.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Gas giant
- **HOW FAR:** 83.13 ly — The light arriving now left it that long ago.
- **HOW BIG:** 1.12 R♃ · 80 364 km — Its radius: half the width across.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Ursa Major](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/ursa-major) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.
- **ONE ORBIT TAKES:** 14.1 years — One trip round HIP 55507.

## Catalogue data

### WHAT KIND OF THING IT IS

What the object is in itself, rather than how it happens to look from here.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Equilibrium temperature | 76.05 K |
| Host star spectral type | M0 |
| Host star temperature | 4171 +93 / −149 K |
| Host star mass | 0.65 ±0.079 M☉ |
| Host star radius | 0.723643 +0.084 / −0.049 R☉ |

### HOW BRIGHT IT IS

What the light adds up to, measured through one filter at a time. A magnitude is a brightness on a backwards scale — the smaller the number, the brighter the object.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Host star apparent magnitude (V) | 9.80 |

### THE ORBIT

The shape of the path, where the object sits on it, and the instant those figures were true of. An orbit is a fit to observations and drifts away from the real one either side of its epoch.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Host star | HIP 55507 |
| Orbital period | 14.07 years +887 / −529 |
| Eccentricity | 0.362 +0.12 / −0.2 |
| Inclination | 135.02 +16 / −22° |
| Argument of periastron | 65.57 +15 / −28° |
| Periastron epoch | 2452398.4760 BJD |
| Stars in system | 1 |
| Planets in system | 1 |

### WHEN IT WAS FOUND

Who first saw it, from where, and by what method.

| Field | Value |
