NGTS-10 and Its Close-Orbiting Planet
NGTS-10 is a K5 V star, a main-sequence dwarf, with a mass of 0.696 solar masses, a radius of 0.697 solar radii, and a temperature of 4600 K. It is 10.4 billion years old. One planet orbits this host: NGTS-10 b.
NGTS-10 b was discovered in 2020 by the transit method and is classified as Jupiter-like. It has an orbital period of 0.767 days and a radius of 13.9 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
The star's reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
