WASP-7 b
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". WASP-7 b is an extrasolar planet discovered in 2008. This 5-day period planet, orbiting a round the star WASP-7, is slightly smaller than Jupiter, roughly the same mass and more dense.[1]
A study in 2012, utilizing the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect, determined the planetary orbit is strongly misaligned with the equatorial plane of the star, with misalignment equal to 86±8°, making the planetary orbit nearly polar.[2] The orbit is also slightly eccentric, which is surprising given the tidal circularization timescale of below 650 million years.[3]
Physical properties
The measured temperature on the planetary dayside is 1393Script error: No such module "Su". K.[3] Sodium was detected in the planetary atmosphere in 2022.[4]
