WASP-76
WASP-76, also known as BD+01 316, is a yellow-white main sequence star in the constellation of Pisces (constellation), Pisces. A suspected stellar companion at a projected separation of 85 astronomical units was reported in 2014. After about five billion years, WASP-76 has expanded and stellar evolution, become more luminous than at the start of its main sequence life, but most probably has not yet reached the subgiant branch. Planetary system The "hot Jupiter" class planet WASP-76b was discovered around WASP-76 in 2013. Analysis of transit-timing variations suggest an additional planet in the system.

WASP-76b
WASP-76b is an exoplanet classified as a Hot Jupiter. It is located in the constellation Pisces and orbits its host star, WASP-76, at a distance of approximately . Its orbital period is approximately 1.8 days, and its mass is about 0.92 times that of Jupiter. The discovery of WASP-76b took place on October 21, 2013; as of 2022, it is the only known planet in the WASP-76 system. The equilibrium temperature of WASP-76b is estimated to be around , However, the measured daytime temperature is higher, reaching approximately . Atmospheric composition Data collected from the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes have provided evidence of titanium oxide and small amounts of water within the planet's atmosphere. Further analysis using higher-resolution spectra has revealed the presence of ionized elements such as lithium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, manganese, potassium, and iron. The existence of calcium was confirmed by the Gemini North Observatory in 2021; in 2022, barium was also det ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
