K2-132 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
K2-132 is a star 1990 light-years away with an age of 5.5 billion years, a mass of 1.19 solar masses, a radius of 4.11 solar radii, and a temperature of 4880 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, while its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet, K2-132 b, is Jupiter-like, a size class that exceeds 4 times Earth's radius. It was discovered by transit in 2017, when it passed in front of its star from our viewpoint and caused a small dip in observed brightness. Its radius is 14.6 Earth radii, its mass is 156 Earth masses, and its orbital period is 9.18 days. Both its reported radius and mass estimates are larger than Earth's. Its mean density is 0.277 g/cm³, 0.0503 times Earth's.
