V2376 Ori b is a hot Jupiter orbiting the M star V2376 Ori in the constellation Orion. It was discovered in 2025 using the imaging method.
How Big Is V2376 Ori b?
V2376 Ori b has a radius of 87.21 times that of Earth, or 7.78 times the radius of Jupiter. Its mass is 6,357 times that of Earth.
Is V2376 Ori b in the Habitable Zone?
The position of V2376 Ori b relative to the habitable zone of V2376 Ori cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Temperature on V2376 Ori b
The equilibrium temperature of V2376 Ori b is about 2,100 K (1,827 °C) — hot enough to melt many metals. This estimate ignores any atmosphere, which could change surface temperatures dramatically — Earth's greenhouse effect adds about 33 °C.
Orbit and Year Length
V2376 Ori b orbits at an average distance of 71.000 AU.
How Was V2376 Ori b Discovered?
V2376 Ori b was discovered in 2025 using the imaging method, with observations from Multiple Observatories.
Direct imaging captures actual pictures of a planet by blocking out the overwhelming glare of its host star. It works best for young, hot, massive planets on wide orbits.
