NGTS-12 b: A Jupiter-like Planet in a Distant System
NGTS-12 is a G-type star, a class that includes the Sun, located 1460 light-years away. The star has a mass of 1.02 solar masses, a radius of 1.59 solar radii, a temperature of 5690 K, and an age of 9.4 billion years. Its reported radius estimate is larger than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet is NGTS-12 b, a Jupiter-like world discovered by the transit method in 2020. Its radius of 11.7 Earth radii is larger than Earth's. The planet's mass is 66.1 Earth masses, also larger than Earth's, and its mean density is 0.225 g/cm³, 0.0408 times Earth's. NGTS-12 b completes an orbit every 7.53 days.
