[9] In August 2022, this planet and its host star were included among 20 systems to be named by the third NameExoWorlds project.
[1] In September 2022, HIP 65426 b became the first exoplanet directly observed by the James Webb Space Telescope.
[14] The spectrum taken in 2020 has indicated that HIP 65426 b is carbon-poor and oxygen-rich compared to Solar System gas giants.
[16] In August 2022, a pre-print of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations was published.
The JWST direct imaging observations between 2-16 μm of HIP 65426 b tightly constrained its bolometric luminosity to
Atmospheric models suggest lower radii down to 0.9 RJ and higher temperatures, but these results are unreliable.
