Description

UNGILO (hot ice giant; planet)
System:        RS 0-7-1906077-137-338-8-4913245-41 B (M7V)
GDist:           2428 ly
Radius:         22,730 km (0.9232 neptunes)
Mass:            17.38 Me (1.013 neptunes)
ESI:              N/A
sma:             0.01681 AU
Day Length:  63.24 hrs (tidal lock)
atm:             N/A
GAT:             405 K

A fairly unremarkable hot neptune. Ungilo orbits the secondary star in a medium separation binary system, the primary being an early (M3) red dwarf. Both partners are on an elliptical orbit which takes them as close as 0.29 AU and as far out as 1.8 AU. Such close encounters prevent all but the closest of stable orbits for planets.

MASCII (scorched desert; moon)
System:        RS 0-7-1906077-137-338-8-4913245-41 B (M7V)
GDist:           2428 ly
Radius:         1961 km (1.129 lunas)
Mass:            0.03717 Me (3.022 lunas)
ESI:              0.262
sma:             68,290 km
Day Length:  11.85 hrs (tidal lock)
atm:             228.6 kPa (225.6% earth)
GAT:             954 K (185 K greenhouse)

Mascii is a hellish world with a thick, likely volcanic in origin, atmosphere which only traps in even more thermal energy. The moon itself is quite dense: 7.11 g*cm^-3, similar to pure zinc. This suggests a large iron core and small silicate mantle. Large pools of surface magma indicate that, like Venus, Mascii undergoes periodic resurfacing events, though such events are probably more frequent on the latter due to tidal interactions with its hot neptune parent.

The informal unit lunas is used to represent the Earth's Moon in order to prevent confusion with the more general term 'moon'.

Epic picture once more! So he orbits only one of the two stars right?
