# HIP 66074 b

HIP 66074 b is a gas giant in the constellation [Ursa Minor](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/ursa-minor), 115.6 ly from Earth. It orbits HIP 66074 at a mean distance of 0.799 AU. It has a mass of 5.00 M♃ and an estimated radius of 1.15 R♃ · 82 277 km. The radius is an estimate from the mass rather than a measurement. It was discovered in 2023.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Gas giant
- **HOW FAR:** 115.6 ly — The light arriving now left it that long ago.
- **HOW BIG:** 1.15 R♃ · 82 277 km — Its radius: half the width across.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Ursa Minor](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/ursa-minor) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.
- **ONE ORBIT TAKES:** 311 days — One trip round HIP 66074.

## 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 | 192.69 K |
| Host star temperature | 4300 ±60 K |
| Host star mass | 0.705 +0.025 / −0.023 M☉ |
| Host star radius | 0.69 +0.013 / −0.012 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) | 10.25 |

### 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 66074 |
| Orbital period | 310.9 days +22 / −18 |
| Eccentricity | 0.948 ±0.004 |
| Inclination | 13° |
| Argument of periastron | −155 ±2° |
| Periastron epoch | 2459962.4800 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 |
| --- | --- |
| Discovery method | Astrometry |
| Discovered at | European Space Agency (ESA) Gaia Satellite |
