WASP-97 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
WASP-97 is a G5 star 493 light-years away. It is older than the Sun at 11.9 billion years, and its reported mass estimate of 1.12 solar masses, radius estimate of 1.06 solar radii, and temperature of 5640 K are all larger or cooler than the Sun's corresponding values. One planet orbits this host.
WASP-97 b is a Jupiter-like planet discovered by transit in 2014. Its radius estimate of 12.8 Earth radii exceeds Earth's radius and places it well into the Jupiter-like size class, while its ordinary mass estimate of 432 Earth masses is larger than Earth's and roughly 1.36 times Jupiter's mass. The planet completes one orbit every 2.07 days. Its mean density is 1.14 g/cm³, 0.207 times Earth's.
