Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameErija-he
Planet typeHot gas giant
This hot gas giant is named after the deity Erija-he, the bringer of war.

As seen from NGTS-8, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

The neon has probably photodissociated, and the free carbon dioxide has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a planetary magnetic field.
