XO-6 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
XO-6 is a star 768 light-years away with a spectral type of F5. It is 1.88 billion years old and has a mass of 1.47 solar masses, a radius of 1.93 solar radii, and a temperature of 6720 K, making its reported mass, radius, and temperature estimates larger or hotter than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet is XO-6 b, a Jupiter-like world discovered by transit in 2016. It has a reported upper limit of 1398.452 Earth masses, a radius of 23.2 Earth radii that is larger than Earth's, and an orbital period of 3.77 days.
