Comment: references not in good order, also for notability in this subject you need more than this...IMO Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:36, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

WASP-52 b officailly named Göktürk is a hot Saturn orbiting the star WASP-52 at a distance of 570 light years from the earth. Wasp-52 b takes about 1.75 days to orbit its star and because of the distance it is likely to be tidally locked to its Star. The planet has a small measured temperature difference between dayside (1481±34 K) and nightside (1224±77 K).[3]
Nomenclature
[edit]The designation WASP-52 b comes from the Wide Angle Search for Planets.[citation needed]
This was one of the systems selected to be named in the 2019 NameExoWorlds campaign during the 100th anniversary of the IAU, which assigned each country a star and planet to be named. This system was assigned to Turkey. The approved names were Anadolu for the star, after the Turkish name for Anatolia, and Göktürk for the planet after the Göktürks, a historical group of Turkic people [4]
Atmospheric composition
[edit]A 2020n study revealed the presence of hydrogen, sodium, potassium in WASP-52 b's atmosphere[5] though the sodium and potassium may have come from a volcanically active moon of the gas giant, not the planet itself.[6]. The atmosphere has no high winds and relatively low-lying clouds, indicating it is not significantly enriched by heavy elements [7]. No signs of the planetary atmosphere escaping to space were detected in 2020,[8] but updated measurement in 2022 showed signs of helium escape, consistent with mass loss rate of 0.5% per billion years [9]
