WASP-160 B and Its Jupiter-like Planet

WASP-160 B is a K-type main-sequence dwarf star 940 light-years away. Its spectral type is K0 V. The star has an age of 9.75 billion years, a mass of 0.87 solar masses, a radius of 0.868 solar radii, and a temperature of 5300 K. Its reported mass estimate is smaller than the Sun's, as is its reported radius estimate, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's. One planet is known to orbit this host.

WASP-160 B b is a Jupiter-like planet discovered by transit in 2018. It has a mass of 88.4 Earth masses, a radius of 12.2 Earth radii, and an orbital period of 3.77 days. Its reported radius estimate and reported mass estimate are both larger than Earth's, and its mean density is 0.267 g/cm³, 0.0484 times Earth's.
