18 Del and Its Planet
18 Del is a G6 III star 249 light-years away with one known planet. The star's reported mass estimate is 2.3 solar masses and its radius is 8.5 solar radii, both larger than the Sun's, while its temperature of 4980 K is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet, 18 Del b, was discovered by radial velocity in 2008. The radial velocity method measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion; repeated wobbles reveal the planet and its orbital period. Its minimum mass is 2930 Earth masses, larger than Earth's and roughly 9.21 times Jupiter's mass. It orbits in 983 days.
