HAT-P-16: A Distant Star With One Known Planet
HAT-P-16 is a star 739 light-years away with a spectral type of F8. It is 2 billion years old, has a mass of 1.22 solar masses, a radius of 1.24 solar radii, and a temperature of 6160 K. Its mass, radius, and temperature are all larger or hotter than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet, HAT-P-16 b, is a Jupiter-like world discovered by transit in 2010. Its radius of 14.7 Earth radii is larger than Earth's, and no orbital period is reported for it.
