Suggested nameLyat-bitar
Planet typeSmall warm gas planet
Its orbital period around K2-87 of 9.7 earth days is the shortest of all the planets in its solar system.

The planet is named after the deity Lyat-bitar, the bringer of chaos.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly three times for every three revolutions it makes around K2-87.

Lyat-bitar is by far the hottest planet in its solar system, with a mean surface temperature of 761°K (488°C).

Future targets for exploration in the Lyat-bitar system include the probable ice-covered liquid ocean of its moon Selyge Pertay.
