WASP-76 and Its Jupiter-like Planet
WASP-76 is a star 634 light-years away with a spectral type of F7, placing it in a hotter class than the Sun. Its mass is 1.46 solar masses, its radius is 1.76 solar radii, and its temperature is 6330 K, all larger or hotter than the corresponding solar values. The star is estimated to be 1.82 billion years old.
One planet is known to orbit this star. WASP-76 b is a Jupiter-like planet discovered by the transit method in 2016. Its radius is 20.8 Earth radii and its mass is 284 Earth masses, both greater than Earth's. Its mean density is 0.174 g/cm³, or 0.0317 times Earth's density. The planet completes an orbit in 1.81 days.
