Meet DMPP-1 b, a sizzling hot world discovered back in 2019 orbiting the star DMPP-1. This planet was spotted using the clever radial velocity technique with the trusty HARPS Spectrograph at Chile’s La Silla Observatory. While we can’t say hello directly yet, we know DMPP-1 b is a close-in planet, probably baking under the intense glare of its host star, making it quite the cosmic sauna. It’s a fascinating find that helps astronomers piece together the puzzle of how extreme exoplanets behave in tight orbits. Though it doesn’t have a fancy proper name yet, DMPP-1 b’s story is just beginning, and it’s sure to keep scientists excited as they explore the wild diversity of worlds beyond our solar system!
