TrES-3 and Its Single Known Planet
TrES-3 is a G-type main-sequence star located 755 light-years away. It is cooler than the Sun at 5650 K, and its mass is 0.928 solar masses and its radius 0.829 solar radii. The star's age is 0.9 billion years. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet is TrES-3 b, discovered in 2007 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. The planet is Jupiter-like, meaning its radius exceeds four times Earth's. Its mass is 607 Earth masses, roughly 1.91 times Jupiter's mass. Its radius is 15 Earth radii, and its orbital period is 1.31 days.
