PDS 70

[16] The James Webb Space Telescope has been used to detect water vapor in the inner part of the disk, where terrestrial planets may be forming.

[3][7] With a mass estimated to be a few times greater than Jupiter,[19] the planet is thought to have a temperature of around 1,200 K (930 °C; 1,700 °F)[21] and an atmosphere with clouds;[7] its orbit has an approximate radius of 20.8 AU (3.11 billion kilometres),[19] taking around 120 years for a revolution.

[23] The planet orbits its host star at a distance of 34.3 AU (5.13 billion kilometres), farther away than PDS 70 b.

[6][24] The accretion disk was at first observationally supported in 2019,[25] however, in 2020 evidence was presented that the current data favors a model with a single blackbody component of the planet.

Its bolometric temperature is 1193±20 K, while only upper limits on these quantities can be derived for the optically thick accretion disk, significantly larger than the planet itself.

However, weak evidence that the current data favors a model with a single blackbody component is found.

[26] In July 2019, astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) reported the first-ever detection of a moon-forming circumplanetary disk.

This debris is thought to have a mass 0.03-2 times that of the Moon, and could be evidence of a Trojan planet or one in the process of forming.
