HAT-P-32b is a planet in the orbit of the G-type or F-type star
HAT-P-32, which is approximately 1,044 light years away from
Earth. HAT-P-32b was first recognized as a possible planet by
the planet-searching HATNet Project in 2004, although difficulties
in measuring its radial velocity prevented astronomers from
verifying the planet until after three years of observation. The
Blendanal program helped to rule out most of the alternatives that
could explain what HAT-P-32b was, leading astronomers to
determine that HAT-P-32b was most likely a planet. The
discovery of HAT-P-32b and of HAT-P-33b was submitted
to a journal on June 6, 2011.
The planet is considered a Hot Jupiter, and although it is slightly
less massive than Jupiter, it is bloated to nearly twice Jupiter's
size. At the time of its discovery, HAT-P-32b had one of the
largest radii known amongst extrasolar planets. This phenomenon,
which has also been observed in planets like WASP-17b and
HAT-P-33b, has shown that something more than temperature is
influencing why these planets become so large.
