GQ Lupi b is a possible extrasolar planet orbiting the star GQ Lupi. Its discovery was announced in April 2005. Along with 2M1207b, this was one of the first extrasolar planet candidates to be directly imaged. The image was made with the VLT telescope at Paranal Observatory, Chile on June 25, 2004. [http://www.eso.org/public/outreach/press-rel/pr-2005/pr-09-05.html Is this a Brown Dwarf or an Exoplanet? New Young Sub-stellar Companion Imaged with the VLT] , ESO Press Release 09/05, April 7, 2005. Accessed on line June 13, 2008.]

GQ Lupi b has a spectral type between M6 and L0, corresponding to a temperature of around 2650 kelvin. Located at a projected distance of about 100 AU from its companion star, giving it an orbital period of perhaps about 1200 years, it is believed to be several times more massive than Jupiter. [ [http://www.extrasolar.net/planettour.asp?StarCatId=&PlanetId=289 GQ Lup b] , "Extrasolar Visions". Accessed on line June 13, 2008.] Because the theoretical models which are used to predict planetary masses for objects in young star systems like GQ Lupi b are still tentative, the mass cannot be precisely specified — models place GQ Lupi b's mass anywhere between a few Jupiter masses and 36 Jupiter masses. At the highest end of this range, GQ Lupi b could be classified as a small brown dwarf rather than an exoplanet. As of 2006, the International Astronomical Union Working Group on Extrasolar Planets described GQ Lupi b as a "possible planetary-mass companion to a young star."
