HD 168443 b is a planet seven times as massive as Jupiter. Given the high mass, this planet is likely to be a gas giant, or possibly a small brown dwarf depending on the orbital inclination. It orbits closer to its star than Mercury does to the Sun, and its surface temperature is likely to be very high.
