+85-35 hours, while the predicted pseudo-synchronous rotation period is 39.9 hours (Hut 1981 model) or 28 hours (Ivanov & Papaloizou 2007 model). The radiative timescale is about 4 hours, and heat transport to the dark side of the planet is inefficient.
The amount of thermal emission through the bulk of the orbit suggests either substantial cloud coverage of marginal thermal emission. Constraint on tidal Q factor in the latter case suggests the orbit would be stable for billions of years, i.e. not a proto-hot Jupiter.
