Gaia-2 is a star located 682 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star has a mass of 1.02 solar masses, a radius of 1.09 solar radii, and a temperature of 5720 K. Its reported radius estimate is larger than the Sun's.
The planet Gaia-2 b is a Jupiter-like world, a size class that describes a radius exceeding 4 times Earth's radius. It was discovered in 2022 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.
Gaia-2 b has a mass of 260 Earth masses and a radius of 14.8 Earth radii, both larger than Earth's corresponding values. Its mean density is 0.44 g/cm³, 0.0798 times Earth's. The planet completes an orbit every 3.69 days.
