HD 85628 Ab, also designed MASCARA-4b, is an exoplanet located approximately 559.47±3.05 light years from Earth. This planet was discovered in 2019 using the transit method.^[1]^[2]

Characteristics[edit]

It is a hot Jupiter on a retrograde and slightly eccentric orbit.^[3] The planet is unusually reflective for a hot Jupiter.^[4] Hydrogen, sodium, magnesium, calcium and iron emission from planetary atmosphere was detected.^[5]

Host star[edit]

The host star, HD 85628 A, is the primary star of a binary star system, HD 85628. The secondary star is HD 85628 B, an M-type star.
