OGLE-TR-182 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 1.14 solar masses, 5,924 K, 1.14 solar radii), 2,502 light-years from Earth. OGLE-TR-182 b is a 1.01-Jupiter-mass companion, with an orbital period of 4.0 days, at 0.051 AU from its star, discovered in 2007 via transit. The inner world is a hot Jupiter — a gas giant hugging its star at a fraction of Mercury's distance — a class that forced astronomers to rethink how giant planets form and migrate inward. OGLE-TR-182 b orbits well inside Earth's distance from the Sun.
