WASP-44 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
WASP-44 is a G8 V star located 1190 light-years away. Its spectral type marks it as a main-sequence dwarf, and its reported mass estimate is 0.935 solar masses, its radius estimate 0.906 solar radii, and its temperature 5420 K. The star's reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler.
One planet orbits this host. WASP-44 b is a Jupiter-like planet discovered by transit in 2011. Its reported mass estimate is 277 Earth masses, and its reported radius estimate is 12.3 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. It completes an orbit in 2.42 days. Its mean density is 0.813 g/cm³, 0.148 times Earth's.
