Suggested nameErmengy Yi
Planet typeWarm gas giant
Its orbital period around K2-261 of 12 earth days is the longest of all the planets in its solar system.

The interior of Ermengy Yi is mainly composed of ices and molten metal. The planet is named after the deity Ermengy Yi, the messenger of good fortune.

The polar regions are constantly below 306°K (33°C).

The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 5 bar, or roughly the pressure found 945 m under the oceans of Earth. Ermengy Yi is by far the hottest planet in its solar system, with a mean surface temperature of 218°K (-55°C).

The Ermengy Yi system has a unique configuration among those of the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit.
