SWEEPS-11 b: A Giant World in a Close Orbit
SWEEPS-11 is a single star with one known planet. The star has a reported mass estimate of 1.1 solar masses and a reported radius estimate of 1.45 solar radii, both larger than the Sun's corresponding values.
The planet, SWEEPS-11 b, was discovered by the transit method in 2006, when it passed in front of its star from our viewpoint and caused a small dip in observed brightness. It is classified as Jupiter-like, meaning its radius exceeds 4 times Earth's radius; its reported radius estimate of 12.7 Earth radii is larger than Earth's. Its reported mass estimate is 3080 Earth masses, roughly 9.7 times Jupiter's mass, and also larger than Earth's. SWEEPS-11 b completes its orbit in 1.8 days. Its mean density is 8.36 g/cm³, 1.52 times Earth's.
