Exoplanet transits

HAT-P-16b  15/09/2024

HAT-P-16b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting HAT-P-16, an F- type star with an apparent magnitude of 10.9 and a size close to that of our Sun (Mass = 1.22 Msun, Radius = 1.24 Rsun).

Located in the constellation Andromeda, it is 739 light-years away from us and takes only 2.8 days to complete one orbit around its star. Its discovery was announced in 2010. 

Its mass is 4.19 times that of Jupiter, and the distance to its star is 0.0413 AU.
