IRAS 04125+2902 b

The planet likely has an extended atmoshpere due to its large radius and relatively low mass, making it a potential candidate for follow-up observations with the James Webb Space Telescope.

[3] IRAS 04125+2902 b was detected using the transit method, which consists of observing small, regular dips in the brightness of the host star.

[4] Data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite was analysed by the astronomer Madyson Barber and colleagues, allowing the planet detection.

[1] IRAS 04125+2902 has a transitional disk located at 20–60 AU[6] and makes a binary system with 2MASS J04154269+2909558, being separated by a projected distance of 635 astronomical units (9.50×1010 km) from its companion.

Another hypothesis suggest that infalling material from the surrounding Taurus Molecular Cloud could be the cause of this misalignment, as those places are densely packed.
