TOI-7510 b
Astrophysical Synthesis & Habitability Characterization
TOI-7510 b is a confirmed gas giant exoplanet orbiting the star TOI-7510, located approximately 812.1 light-years (249.01 parsecs) from the Solar System. First announced in 2025 by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the Transit detection technique (producing an estimated primary transit depth of 0.4193% across the stellar disk), this world measures 7.31 Earth radii (0.65 Jupiter radii) and has a measured mass of 18.1 Earth masses. Combining its mass and radius yields a mean bulk density of 0.26 g/cm³ (a low bulk density dominated by an extended hydrogen-helium gaseous envelope), a surface gravity of 0.34 g⊕ (3.33 m/s²), and an escape velocity of 17.6 km/s.
In its orbital architecture around TOI-7510, TOI-7510 b completes one full revolution every 11.531 Earth days at a semi-major axis of 0.1019 AU (orbiting interior to Mercury's 0.387 AU benchmark in the Solar System). Its mean orbital velocity is approximately 96.1 km/s (compared to Earth's 29.8 km/s). Its moderate orbital eccentricity of e = 0.0572 carries the world between 0.0961 AU at periapsis and 0.1077 AU at apoapsis, driving measurable seasonal insolation cycles.
⚠️ Thermal Regime (Irradiated / Hot Zone): At an equilibrium temperature of 878 K (+605°C / +1121°F) and receiving 1,678.51 S⊕ (~2,284,455 W/m²), TOI-7510 b orbits interior to the runaway greenhouse boundary where surface liquid water cannot persist.
The host star TOI-7510 is classified as a solar-type yellow star of spectral type G3 with an effective photospheric temperature of 5,720 K, a radius of 1.035 R☉, a mass of 1.063 M☉, an estimated bolometric luminosity of 1.029 L☉. Stellar evolution modeling indicates an estimated stellar age of 4.4 Gyr and a metallicity of [Fe/H] = 0.25 dex (metal-rich relative to the Sun). From Earth, TOI-7510 shines at apparent V-band magnitude 11.989 (faint and requiring research-grade or CCD telescopic photometry) in the Southern celestial hemisphere. The TOI-7510 system is a multi-planet architecture hosting 3 confirmed worlds, with TOI-7510 b sharing its stellar neighborhood alongside TOI-7510 c, TOI-7510 d.
Methodology: Computed using the Schulze-Makuch et al. (2011) weighted metric comparing physical interior (radius, estimated density) and surface thermal regime (escape velocity, equilibrium temperature).
