NGTS-14 A: A K-Type Dwarf and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
NGTS-14 A is a K1 V star, a main-sequence dwarf, located 1050 light-years away. The star is 5.9 billion years old, with a mass of 0.898 solar masses and a radius of 0.842 solar radii, and its temperature is 5190 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet, NGTS-14 A b, was discovered by transit in 2021. It is Jupiter-like, with a radius of 4.98 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's, and a mass of 29.2 Earth masses, which is also larger than Earth's. Its orbital period is 3.54 days, and its mean density is 1.31 g/cm³, 0.237 times Earth's.
