Talk:List of hottest exoplanets

TESS candidates

There are a lot of TESS candidate exoplanets with temperatures above 2,500 K, some even with temperatures larger than 6,000 K. Do we include them or not? Diamantinasaurus (talk) 13:35, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

I agree with adding these objects, but in a separate list just for them, just like the list of smallest exoplanets, which has separate lists just for the TESS and Kepler candidates. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 14:47, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

I would say that only confirmed objects with measured temperatures should be included, but it seems I'm in the minority here - my split of calculated temperatures to a separate list was reverted. I've now split unconfirmed objects to a separate list. SevenSpheres (talk) 19:47, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Qualification/eligibility of objects for being added

Usually dayside temperatures are given, while nightside temperatures can be thousands or at least hundreds of Kelvin cooler for transiting planets, so it is a localized temperature. Quite recently protoplanets were identified, which still accrete. So the gas flow collides with the protoplanet’s surface at free-fall velocity. Shock compression heats the gas to a temperature on the order of 10000 K, measured in the form of hydrogen emission. Does this localized temperature record qualify these planets to be hotter than the candidates here. If so why or why not? Stevinger (talk) 13:17, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
