WASP-108 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet

WASP-108 is a star located 844 light-years away. It is an F9 star with a mass of 1.1 solar masses, a radius of 1.34 solar radii, and a temperature of 5980 K. The star's reported radius estimate is larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.

That planet is WASP-108 b, a Jupiter-like world discovered by transit in 2020. Its radius is 15.1 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. A Jupiter-like planet exceeds 4 times Earth's radius, and WASP-108 b's measured size places it firmly in that class. No orbital period is reported for WASP-108 b.
