WASP-34 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
WASP-34 is a star 431 light-years away with a mass of 1.01 solar masses and a temperature of 5690 K. Its radius of 1.11 solar radii is larger than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet, WASP-34 b, is Jupiter-like. It was discovered by transit in 2010, a method in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Its orbital period is 4.32 days.
WASP-34 b has a radius of 11.2 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and a mass of 178 Earth masses, also larger than Earth's. Its mean density is 0.696 g/cm³, 0.126 times Earth's.
