Gliese 436 b (sometimes called GJ 436 b, formally named Awohali) is a Neptune-sized exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf Gliese 436 (Noquisi), the only known planet in its system. It was the first hot Neptune discovered with certainty (in 2007) and was among the smallest-known transiting planets in mass and radius, until the much smaller Kepler exoplanet discoveries began circa 2010.
