CT245233

CT245233 is a recently discovered exoplanet located approximately 120 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. It orbits the star HD 189733, a K-type main-sequence star similar to our Sun but slightly smaller and cooler. The exoplanet was identified using the transit method, where the slight dimming of the star's light as the planet passes in front of it is observed.

CT245233 is classified as a hot Jupiter, a type of gas giant planet that is similar in size to Jupiter but orbits very close to its host star. Its orbital period is approximately 2.2 Earth days, resulting in a surface temperature estimated to be around 1,000 degrees Celsius. This proximity to its star also causes the planet to experience intense stellar radiation and tidal forces, which may affect its atmospheric composition and dynamics.

The planet's mass is roughly 1.14 times that of Jupiter, and its radius is approximately 1.19 times that of Jupiter. Its atmosphere is believed to be rich in water vapor and other compounds, which can be studied through spectroscopic analysis of the starlight filtered through the planet's atmosphere during transits.

CT245233 is of particular interest to astronomers due to its relatively close proximity to Earth and its unique characteristics. Ongoing research aims to further characterize its atmosphere and understand the effects of its extreme environment on planetary formation and evolution.
