WASP-36 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
WASP-36 is a star 1260 light-years away with an age of 1.4 billion years, a mass of 1.08 solar masses, a radius of 0.985 solar radii, and a temperature of 5960 K. Its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's, its radius estimate is smaller, and its temperature is hotter. One planet orbits this host.
WASP-36 b is a Jupiter-like planet discovered by transit in 2011. A transit occurs when a planet crosses in front of its star from our viewpoint, dimming the observed brightness; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. WASP-36 b completes an orbit in 1.54 days, with a mass of 750 Earth masses and a radius of 14.9 Earth radii. Both its radius and mass estimates are larger than Earth's, and its mass is roughly 2.36 times Jupiter's mass. Its mean density is 1.26 g/cm³, 0.228 times Earth's.
