SUMMARY
Hot Jupiter is only 1.5 ls from its star and surpasses it in temperature by 2.5 times.A "hot Jupiter" that's only 1.5 ls from its parent star, with a rapid orbit, and a surface temperature that's 2.5 times higher than its parent's.
DESCRIPTION

Arriving in the Blooe Phoe LD-A d14-2 system to the main star (neutron star in a binary) at 17 ls is the M (Red dwarf) Star in orbit of which is Class V gas giant only 1.5 ls from it.

In addition to the fact that its orbit is extremely close, the surface temperature of this gas giant is 6,901 K, while the temperature of the star itself is only 2,851 K. This temperature bias is caused by proximity to a neutron star.

The distance from the "surface" to the "surface" is ≈182794 km *(If my calculations are correct and if this information can be indicated here at all)

This body also has a very fast orbit (3,6 hours) and rotation period (4,7 hours), because of this it has a pronounced ellipsoid shape.

Commanders who arrive in the Blooe Phoe LD-A d14-2 system are greeted with a curious star. The main star is a neutron star, and a class M red dwarf star is in a binary orbit with it, 17 ls away. However, only 1.5 ls away from the dwarf star, a Class V Gas Giant can be found.

In addition to the fact that its orbit is extremely close, the surface temperature of this gas giant is 6,901 K, while the surface temperature of the star itself is only 2,851 K. The close proximity of the neutron star likely contributes to the heating of the gas giant's atmosphere.

The gas giant also has a very fast orbit (3.6 hours) and rotation period (4.7 hours) as well. Because of the latter, its equatorial bulge is large enough that it's easily visible even to the naked eye.
