EPIC 246851721: A Distant Star With One Known Planet
EPIC 246851721 is an F5 V star 1220 light-years away, with a mass of 1.32 solar masses, a radius of 1.59 solar radii, and a temperature of 6200 K, all larger or hotter than the Sun's corresponding values. It is 3.02 billion years old. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet is EPIC 246851721 b, a Jupiter-like world discovered by transit in 2018. It completes an orbit every 6.18 days. Its radius is 11.8 Earth radii, and its mass is 953 Earth masses, roughly 3 times Jupiter's mass. Its mean density is 3.21 g/cm³, 0.583 times Earth's.
