K2-271 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
K2-271 is a star 1840 light-years away with a mass of 0.98 solar masses, a radius of 1.02 solar radii, and a temperature of 5550 K. Its mass is smaller than the Sun's, while its radius is larger than the Sun's and its temperature is cooler. One planet orbits this star.
K2-271 b is a Jupiter-like planet 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's orbital period is 8.56 days, and its radius is 7.28 Earth radii, larger than Earth's radius.
