Moons orbiting exoplanets (“exomoons”) may hold clues about planet formation, migration, and habitability. We investigate the plausibility of exomoons orbiting the temperate (Teq=294 K) giant (R=9.2 R⊕) planet HIP 41378 f.
Previous studies have suggested that HIP 41378 f has a low apparent bulk density of 0.09gcm−3 and a flat near-infrared transmission spectrum, suggesting that it may possess circumplanetary rings. Given the planet’s long orbital period (P≈1.5 yr), it may also host a large exomoon.
