Target entity: WASP-18 Context triple: [Phoenix, containsExoplanetHostStar, WASP-18]
-
A.
WASP-18b
WASP-18b is a massive, ultra-hot gas giant exoplanet in a very close, short-period orbit around its host star, notable for its extreme tidal interactions and atmospheric conditions.
-
B.
WASP-17b
WASP-17b is an extremely low-density, “puffy” exoplanet notable for its retrograde orbit around its star, making it one of the most unusual hot Jupiters discovered.
-
C.
WASP-19b
WASP-19b is an ultra-short-period hot Jupiter exoplanet orbiting extremely close to its host star, making it one of the fastest-orbiting gas giants known.
-
D.
WASP-12b
WASP-12b is an extremely hot, bloated “hot Jupiter” exoplanet so close to its star that it is being tidally distorted and losing its atmosphere.
-
E.
HIP 61084
HIP 61084 is the Hipparcos catalog designation for Epsilon Crucis, a bright giant star in the Southern Cross constellation.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
