WASP-12b is an extrasolar planet that orbits the star WASP-12, a star of apparent magnitude 11.7, spectral type G0 and that has a temperature in its photosphere of 5900 K. It is located about 870 light years away. Its radius Continue Reading

WASP-3b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star WASP-3 in the constellation Lyra, which is about 730 light-years away. Its radius and mass indicate that it is possibly a gas giant, with a composition similar to Jupiter, although due to Continue Reading

WASP-65b (M_pl = 1.55 +/- 0.16 M_J; R_pl = 1.11 +/- 0.06 R_J), orbits its parent star every 2,311, and 2,484 days, respectively. WASP-65 is a G6 star (T_eff = 5600 K, [Fe / H] = -0.07 +/- 0.07, age> Continue Reading

WASP-77 A b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting a G-type star. Its mass is 1.667 Jupiter, it takes 1.4 days to complete an orbit of its star and it is 0.02335 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced Continue Reading

WASP-80 b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting a K-type star. Its mass is 0.538 Jupiter, it takes 3.1 days to complete an orbit of its star and it is 0.0344 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in Continue Reading

WASP-85 Ab is an exoplanet orbiting WASP-85 A, a star that is part of a binary system. The mass and radius of WASP-85 Ab indicate that it has a bulk composition like that of Jupiter. Unlike Jupiter, and similar to Continue Reading

WASP-138 b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting an F-type star. Its mass is 1.22 Jupiter, it takes 3.6 days to complete an orbit of its star and it is 0.0494 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in Continue Reading

WASP-104b is a hot Jupiter — a gaseous planet the size of Jupiter — that lies 466 light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo. Its particularity is that it is as dark as coal. In fact, this is precisely how Continue Reading

WASP-103 b is a gaseous exoplanet, more specifically a hot Jupiter, located in the constellation Hercules orbiting the star WASP-103. It has an oval shape, similar to that of a rugby ball, thanks to the force of gravity exerted by Continue Reading

WASP-93 b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting an F-type star. Its mass is 1.47 Jupiter, it takes 2.7 days to complete an orbit of its star and it is 0.04211 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in Continue Reading
