WASP-71
WASP-71 is a star 1180 light-years away with a spectral type of F8. It is 2 billion years old, has a mass of 1.56 solar masses, a radius of 2.26 solar radii, and a temperature of 6060 K. The star's reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's, its radius estimate is larger than the Sun's, and its temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
One planet orbits this host. WASP-71 b is a Jupiter-like world discovered in 2012 by the transit method. It completes an orbit in 2.9 days, has a mass of 442 Earth masses, and a radius of 13.2 Earth radii. Its mean density is 1.05 g/cm³, 0.191 times Earth's. The planet's reported mass estimate is larger than Earth's and roughly 1.39 times Jupiter's mass, and its radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
