# ITG 15 b

ITG 15 b is a gas giant in the constellation [Taurus](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/taurus), 444.8 ly from Earth. It orbits ITG 15 A at a mean distance of 435 AU. It has a mass of 21.00 M♃ and an estimated radius of 1.08 R♃ · 77 175 km. The radius is an estimate from the mass rather than a measurement. Other catalogues list it as ITG 15 A. It was discovered in 2024.

### 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 | 2601 K |

### 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.
