HATS-6 b: A Jupiter-Like World Around a Cool Red Dwarf
HATS-6 is an M1 V star, a small, cool red dwarf, located 552 light-years away. It has a mass of 0.574 solar masses, a radius of 0.57 solar radii, and a temperature of 3720 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's. The star is 8.1 billion years old. One planet orbits this host.
HATS-6 b is a Jupiter-like planet discovered by transit in 2015. It has an orbital period of 3.33 days, a mass of 101 Earth masses, and a radius of 11.2 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Its mean density is 0.399 g/cm³, 0.0724 times Earth's.
