MASCARA-1b is a confirmed superjovian exoplanet, orbiting the A-type star MASCARA-1 ( HD 201585).
MASCARA-1b is a
hot Jupiter transiting its parent
A-type star; its orbit is misaligned with the star's rotation. The planet was found unusually reflective for hot Jupiter with the measured geometric albedo of 0.171+0.066
−0.068 and dayside temperature of 3062+66
−68
K.
[1] Attempts to spectroscopically characterize its composition were failing as in 2022 due to relatively high planetary surface gravity resulting in compact atmosphere.
