SWEEPS-4 b: A Jupiter-Like World Around a Single Star
SWEEPS-4 is a single star, and one planet has been found in orbit around it. The star's reported mass estimate is 1.24 solar masses, larger than the Sun's, and its reported radius estimate is 1.18 solar radii, also larger than the Sun's.
The planet, SWEEPS-4 b, was discovered by the transit method and announced in 2006. It is a Jupiter-like planet, whose reported radius estimate is 9.08 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Its reported mass estimate is 1210 Earth masses, larger than Earth's and roughly 3.8 times Jupiter's mass. The planet's mean density is 8.89 g/cm³, 1.61 times Earth's. It completes an orbit every 4.2 days.
