Composition

Bulk composition
A cold gas/ice giant of minimum mass ~108 Earth (~0.34 Jupiter) on a wide orbit; never imaged.
Cloud appearance
Appearance based on ESO/M. Kornmesser's artist's concept. No spacecraft has imaged this world, so its real appearance is unknown — The banded clouds shown are a representation of its class, shown only in Vision mode; Realism shows a plain spectral colour.

Radiation & temperature

Insolation
0.0274 S⊕ · 3% of the sunlight Earth receives
Equilibrium temperature

Discovery & history

Method
Radial-velocity detection (stellar wobble)
Name
Designated 'h' under the IAU convention that letters a star's planets 'b', 'c', 'd'... in the order they are discovered (the star itself is the unwritten 'a').

The long-period giant of the system, announced in 2015 from a slow radial-velocity trend.
