HAT-P-9 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet

HAT-P-9 is an F7 host star 1480 light-years away, with an age of 1.6 billion years and a temperature of 6350 K, hotter than the Sun. Its mass is 1.28 solar masses and its radius is 1.34 solar radii, both larger than the Sun's. One planet is known to orbit this star.

That planet is HAT-P-9 b, discovered by the transit method in 2008. It is a Jupiter-like planet, a class defined by a radius more than 4 times Earth's, and its radius of 15.6 Earth radii is larger than Earth's. Its mass is 238 Earth masses, larger than Earth's, and its mean density of 0.345 g/cm³ is 0.0625 times Earth's. HAT-P-9 b orbits its star every 3.92 days, and its radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
