HAT-P-62 is a star located 1140 light-years away with one known planet in orbit around it. The host star is estimated to be 8.1 billion years old, with a mass of 1.02 solar masses and a radius of 1.17 solar radii. Its temperature is 5630 K.
The star's reported mass and radius estimates are both larger than the Sun's, while its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The sole known planet, HAT-P-62 b, was discovered by the transit method in 2021. The transit method detects a planet when it passes in front of its star, causing a small dip in observed brightness that repeats with each orbit. HAT-P-62 b is classified as Jupiter-like, meaning its radius exceeds four times Earth's. Its radius is 12 Earth radii and its mass is 242 Earth masses. Both its reported radius and mass estimates are larger than Earth's, and its mean density is 0.766 g/cm³, 0.139 times Earth's.
HAT-P-62 b completes an orbit in 2.65 days.
