HD 69830 b is a Neptune-mass or super-Earth-mass exoplanet orbiting the star HD 69830. It is 10 times more massive than Earth. It also orbits very close to its parent star and takes 82/3 days to complete an orbit. This is likely to be a rocky planet, not a gas giant. If it had formed as a gas giant, it would have stayed that way. If HD 69830 b is a terrestrial planet, models predict that tidal heating would produce a heat flux at the surface of about 55 W/m2. This is 20 times that of Io.
