WASP-24 and Its Transit-Detected Planet
WASP-24 is a star 1050 light-years away with one listed planet. The star is 2.5 billion years old, has 1.17 solar masses, and has 1.32 solar radii. Its temperature is 6110 K.
The planet WASP-24 b was discovered by transit in 2010. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. WASP-24 b is Jupiter-like, with a radius of 15.5 Earth radii and an orbital period of 2.34 days. Its mass is 394 Earth masses. Its mean density is 0.587 g/cm³, 0.106 times Earth's.
