Pipitea,[2] originally named HD 221287 b, is an exoplanet that orbits Poerava, approximately 173 light years away in the constellation of Tucana. This planet has mass >3.12 MJ (>992 M⊕) and orbits in a habitable zone at 1.25 AUs (6.06 μpc) from the star, taking 1.25 years to orbit at 29.9 km/s around the star. Naef discovered this planet in early 2007 by using HARPS spectrograph located in Chile .[1]
Based on a probable 10−4 fraction of the planet mass as a satellite,[3] the planet can have a Mars-sized moon with habitable surface.[4] On the other hand, this mass can be distributed into many small satellites as well.
The star was originally given the temporary designation "HD 221287 b" as the second object in the HD 221287 system before being officially named "Pipitea" by representatives of the Cook Islands in the IAU's 2019 NameExoWorlds contest, with the comment "Pipitea is a small, white and gold pearl found in Penrhyn lagoon in the northern group of the Cook Islands."[2]
