Stability and Detectability of Exomoons Orbiting HIP 41378 f, a Temperate Jovian Planet with an Anomalously Low Apparent Density

Moons orbiting exoplanets (“exomoons”) may hold clues about planet formation, migration, and habitability. In this work, we investigate the plausibility of exomoons orbiting the temperate ( T _eq = 294 K) giant ( R = 9.2 R _⊕ ) planet HIP 41378 f, which has been shown to have a low apparent bulk den...
