WASP-176: A Distant Star With a Single Known Planet
WASP-176 is a star 1850 light-years away with one known planet. Its spectral type is F9, and it is 4.81 billion years old. The star has a mass of 1.35 solar masses, a radius of 1.93 solar radii, and a temperature of 5940 K. Its mass and radius are larger than the Sun's, and it is hotter than the Sun.
The planet WASP-176 b is a Jupiter-like world discovered by transit in 2020. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. WASP-176 b has a mass of 272 Earth masses and a radius of 16.9 Earth radii, both larger than Earth's. Its mean density is 0.312 g/cm³, 0.0566 times Earth's. It orbits every 3.9 days.
