2024年10月24日 · WASP-62 b is a gas giant exoplanet that orbits a F-type star. Its mass is 0.52 Jupiters, it takes 4.4 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.0571 AU from its star.

WASP-62, formally named Naledi, is a single star about 573 light-years (176 parsecs) away. It is an F class main-sequence star, orbited by a planet, WASP-62b. The age of WASP-62 is much younger than the Sun at 0.8 ± 0.6 billion years, [4] and it …

The planet WASP-62b is 1.39 times the radius of Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System. That means it has a radius about 14 times that of Earth. WASP-62b is roughly half the mass of Jupiter and so, given its bloated radius, it has a much lower density. The star WASP-62 is 1.28 times the radius of the Sun.

2021年1月27日 · 直到2018年才发现了首颗、也是唯一一颗拥有清晰大气层的系外行星，命名为WASP-96b，是一颗“热土星”。 天文学家们表示，研究大气层无云的系外行星可以更好地了解它们是如何形成的——它们的稀缺性“表明有别的事情正在发生，或者它们的形成方式与大多数 ...

2021年1月26日 · 这颗气体巨星被命名为WASP-62b，于2012年通过广角行星搜索 (WASP)计划南巡首次被发现。 然而，它的大气层直到现在还没有被仔细研究过。 利用哈勃太空望远镜的记录，结合光谱学的数据，天文学家发现，该星球上钠的存在非常明显，研究小组能够在他们的数据中看到完整的钠吸收线。 而在通常情况下，大气中的云层或薄雾会掩盖钠的完整特征，天文学家只能分辨出钠存在的细微迹象。 译/前瞻经济学人APP资讯组. 参考资料： …

WASP-62 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star WASP-62, located about 560.4 light-years (171.8 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2011. The host star WASP-62 has apparent magnitude of 10.3, with absolute magnitude of 4.1. It is 1.2 times more massive and 1.3 times bigger compared with our Sun.

这颗气体巨星被命名为WASP-62b，距离地球575光年，质量约为木星的一半。 但与木星不同的是，木星绕太阳公转一周历时12年；而WASP-62b绕其恒星公转一周只需4天半。

They conclude by saying that: “As the only transiting giant planet currently known in the JWST Continuous Viewing Zone, WASP-62b could prove a benchmark giant exoplanet for detailed atmospheric characterization in the James Webb era.

2020年11月13日 · James Webb’s “Continuous Viewing Zone” is the patch of sky where the satellite can point continuously at a target and so observe it most efficiently. Exoplanets within the CVZ that are suitable for atmospheric characterisation are thus of high importance, and so far WASP-62b is the only gas giant known within the CVZ.
