Suggested name | Raqherla |
Planet type | Large hot gas giant |
Raqherla's atmosphere is similar to Rechatungr's in its primary composition of hydrogen deuteride (HD) and ethane, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. It is named after the deity Raqherla, the demon of the sky.
Raqherla is gravitationally locked with Qatar-4 in a 4:3 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system. As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly three times for every two revolutions it makes around Qatar-4. As seen from Qatar-4, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.
The polar regions are constantly below 162°K (-111°C). |
