WASP-14 b: A Nearby Transiting Giant
WASP-14 is a star 528 light-years from Earth with 1.35 solar masses, 1.67 solar radii, and a temperature of 6480 K, and an age of 2.4 billion years. Its reported mass, radius, and temperature are all larger or hotter than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
WASP-14 b is a Jupiter-like planet discovered by transit in 2008, when it was detected passing in front of its star and causing a small dip in observed brightness. It has a mass of 2810 Earth masses, or roughly 8.84 times Jupiter's mass, and a radius of 15.5 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Its orbital period is 2.24 days, and its mean density is 4.18 g/cm³, 0.759 times Earth's.
