Gliese 832 b(Gl 832 borGJ 832 b) is agas giantexoplanetabout 80% the mass of Jupiter, located 16.2light-yearsfrom the Sun in theconstellationofGrus,orbiting thered dwarfstarGliese 832.[3]
Orbit
[edit]The planet takes 9.88 years to revolve around its star at an orbital distance of 3.5AU;[2]at the time of discovery, this was the longest-periodJupiter-like planet known orbiting a red dwarf.[1]The brightness of the faint parent star at that distance corresponds to the brightness of the Sun from 80 AU (or 100 times brighter than a full Moon as seen from Earth).
Discovery
[edit]The planet was discovered at theAnglo-Australian Observatoryon September 1, 2008. It would induce anastrometricperturbation on its star of at least 0.95milliarcsecondsand is thus a good candidate for being detected by astrometric observations. Despite its relatively large angular distance, direct imaging is problematic due to the star–planet contrast.[1]Gliese 832 b was confirmed and its parameters updated by subsequent studies in 2011,[4]2014,[5]and 2022.[6]In 2023, an astrometric detection of the planet was announced, determining its inclination and revealing atrue mass80% the mass of Jupiter.[2]
