TOI-5238 b: A Jupiter-like Planet
TOI-5238 is a star 948 light-years away with a mass of 1 solar mass, a radius of 1.02 solar radii, and a temperature of 5630 K. One planet orbits this host.
That planet, TOI-5238 b, is Jupiter-like, a size classification indicating a radius exceeding 4 times Earth's. Its radius measures 5.22 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. It completes an orbit every 4.87 days. The planet was discovered in 2022 by the transit method, in which a planet passing in front of its star from our viewpoint causes a small dip in observed brightness; repeated dips help establish orbital periods.
