EPIC 248847494 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet

EPIC 248847494 is a star located 1800 light-years away, and one planet orbits it. The star's reported mass estimate is 0.9 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's, and its reported radius estimate is 2.7 solar radii, larger than the Sun's. Its reported temperature is 4900 K, cooler than the Sun's.

The planet EPIC 248847494 b was discovered in 2018 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Repeated dips help establish orbital periods. The planet is classified as Jupiter-like, a size class for planets exceeding 4 times Earth's radius. Its reported radius estimate is 12.4 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and it has a reported upper limit of 4131.79 Earth masses, a bound rather than an exact value.

EPIC 248847494 b completes one orbit in 3650 days.
