WASP-68 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
WASP-68 is a G0 star 738 light-years away with 1.24 solar masses, 1.69 solar radii, and a temperature of 5910 K. Its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's, its radius estimate is larger than the Sun's, and its temperature is hotter than the Sun's. One planet has been found orbiting this host.
That planet is WASP-68 b, a Jupiter-like world discovered by transit in 2014. It completes an orbit in 5.08 days and has a radius of 14.8 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Its mass of 343 Earth masses is also larger than Earth's. WASP-68 b's mean density is 0.584 g/cm³, 0.106 times Earth's.
