WASP-60 and Its Lone Known Planet
WASP-60 is a G-type main-sequence star located 1410 light-years away. It is slightly larger and more massive than the Sun, with a mass of 1.08 solar masses and a radius of 1.14 solar radii, and its temperature of 5900 K is hotter than the Sun's. The star is 3.6 billion years old and hosts one known planet.
That planet, WASP-60 b, is a Jupiter-like world discovered by the transit method in 2012. It orbits its star every 4.31 days. Its radius of 9.86 Earth radii is larger than Earth's, and its mass of 175 Earth masses is also larger than Earth's. The planet's mean density is 1 g/cm³, which is 0.182 times Earth's.
