Wendelstein-2 and Its Jupiter-like Planet
Wendelstein-2 is a K-type main-sequence dwarf 1840 light-years away, with a reported mass of 0.68 solar masses, a radius of 0.741 solar radii, and a temperature of 4360 K. All three estimates are smaller or cooler than the Sun's corresponding values. One planet is known to orbit this star.
That planet, Wendelstein-2 b, is a Jupiter-like world discovered by transit in 2020. It completes an orbit every 1.75 days. Its radius is 13 Earth radii, and its mass is 232 Earth masses, both larger than Earth's corresponding values. Its mean density is 0.584 g/cm³, 0.106 times Earth's.
