NGTS-11 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
NGTS-11 is a K-type star 621 light-years away, with one known planet in orbit. The star is estimated to be 3.9 billion years old, with a mass of 0.862 solar masses and a radius of 0.832 solar radii. Its temperature is 5050 K, making it cooler than the Sun, while its mass and radius are both smaller than the Sun's.
The planet NGTS-11 b is a Jupiter-like world discovered in 2020 by the transit method, in which a planet passing in front of its star from our viewpoint causes a small dip in observed brightness. It has a mass of 109 Earth masses and a radius of 9.16 Earth radii, both larger than Earth's. Its mean density is 0.784 g/cm³, 0.142 times Earth's. NGTS-11 b completes an orbit every 35.5 days.
