WD 0806-661 and Its Jupiter-like Companion

WD 0806-661 is a star 62.8 light-years away with a spectral type of DQ. Its reported mass estimate is 0.605 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature of 10400 K is hotter than the Sun's. The star's age is 1.6 billion years.

One planet orbits this host: WD 0806-661 b, a Jupiter-like planet discovered by imaging in 2011. Its reported mass estimate is 2220 Earth masses, roughly 7 times Jupiter's mass, and its reported radius estimate is 12.1 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. No orbital period is reported for WD 0806-661 b. Its mean density is 6.91 g/cm³, 1.25 times Earth's.
