HAT-P-61 b: A Giant Planet Orbiting a Star
HAT-P-61 is a star 1110 light-years away with one known planet. The star has a mass of 1 solar mass and a radius of 0.938 solar radii, which is smaller than the Sun's radius. Its temperature is 5590 K, cooler than the Sun's, and its age is 2.6 billion years.
The planet HAT-P-61 b is a Jupiter-like world discovered in 2021 by the transit method. It has a mass of 336 Earth masses and a radius of 10.1 Earth radii, both larger than Earth's corresponding values. Its orbital period is 1.9 days, and its mean density is 1.81 g/cm³, 0.328 times Earth's.
