Properties and location
This planetary object is reported to be about 3.3 times the mass of the planet Jupiter and 1.17 times its size with an orbital period of 8.88 days.[1][3] It is a hot Jupiter with a temperature between 700 and 1000 °C.

gollark: Ah yes. Global Interpreter Lock. Right. This may be hard.
