"Groundbreaking Discovery: Astronomers Unveil a Surprising 'Warm Jupiter'"

Astronomers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have discovered a new 'warm Jupiter' exoplanet, TOI-4641 b, orbiting a rapidly rotating F-type star. The planet is nearly four times as massive as Jupiter and has a radius of about 0.73 Jupiter radii. It orbits its host star every 22.09 days at a distance of 0.173 AU. This finding is significant for studying mechanisms that induce primordial misalignment in planetary systems.
