HATS-68 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
HATS-68 is a star 1970 light-years away with one known planet. The star is 3.02 billion years old, has a mass of 1.35 solar masses, a radius of 1.75 solar radii, and a temperature of 6150 K. Its mass, radius, and temperature are all larger or hotter than the Sun's.
The planet HATS-68 b is Jupiter-like, discovered by transit in 2018. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. The planet completes an orbit every 3.59 days. Its radius is 13.8 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and its mass is 410 Earth masses, also larger than Earth's and roughly 1.29 times Jupiter's mass.
HATS-68 b's mean density is 0.858 g/cm³, 0.156 times Earth's.
