Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameTaycha
Planet typeHot gas giant
Orbiting within Tushi Sipro's orbit, Taycha is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from WASP-52; its maximum angular distance from WASP-52 (elongation) is 62 degrees.

Taycha is similar in composition to Tushi Sipro, and both have different bulk chemical composition from that of the larger hot gas giants. This planet is named after the deity Taycha, the bringer of dreams.

As seen from WASP-52, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

Taycha is a hot gas giant and is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to WASP-52, and bulk composition.

Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Taycha's hostile surface conditions.
