HAT-P-56 b: A Jupiter-Like World Around an F8 Star

HAT-P-56 is a star located 1050 light-years away, and one planet orbits it. The host is an F8 star with a mass of 1.3 solar masses and a radius of 1.43 solar radii, both larger than the Sun's corresponding values. Its temperature of 6570 K is hotter than the Sun's, and its age is 2.01 billion years.

The planet HAT-P-56 b was discovered in 2015 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. It is classified as Jupiter-like, meaning its radius exceeds 4 times Earth's radius. Its radius is 16.9 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and its mass is 734 Earth masses, also larger than Earth's and roughly 2.31 times Jupiter's mass. Its mean density is 0.834 g/cm³, 0.151 times Earth's. HAT-P-56 b completes an orbit in 2.79 days.
