WASP-119 and Its Planet
WASP-119 is a G5 star 986 light-years away. It has 1.02 solar masses, 1.2 solar radii, and a temperature of 5650 K, making its reported radius larger and its reported temperature cooler than the Sun's. Its age is 8 billion years. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet, WASP-119 b, was discovered by transit in 2016. It is Jupiter-like, with a mass of 391 Earth masses and a radius of 15.7 Earth radii. Both its mass and radius are larger than Earth's, and its mass is roughly 1.23 times Jupiter's. Its mean density is 0.557 g/cm³, 0.101 times Earth's. It completes an orbit every 2.5 days.
