WASP-3b. The radial velocity of WASP-3 over time, caused by the presence of WASP-3 b. WASP-3b undergoes no detectable gravitational tugging from other bodies in this system.[2] See also[edit] SuperWASP References[edit] UK planet hunters announce three new finds (PDF requires acrobat reader) External links[edit] Media related to WASP-3b at Wikimedia Commons Coordinates: 18h 33m 32s, +35° 39′ 42″

Coordinates: 81 Ceti b. 81 Ceti b (abbreviated 81 Cet b) is an extrasolar planet approximately 300 light years away in the constellation of Cetus. It orbits the G-type giant star 81 Ceti at an average distance of 2.5 AU, taking about 2.6 years to revolve with 20.6% eccentricity.[2] This planet was discovered on July 3, 2008 by Sato et al., who used Doppler Spectroscopy and found the wobbling of the star caused by the planet’s gravity during its revolution.

Discovery[edit] This planet was discovered on November 22, 2010, but the discovery paper was not released until December 2.[1] It is the fourth time in 2010 that a fourth planet has been discovered in a planetary system, the others being Gliese 876 e, HD 10180 e, and HR 8799 e; in no other year so far during the exoplanet era has more than one fourth planet been discovered. Astronomers originally thought that this planet could not exist because it would have made the planetary system unstable and would have been ejected.[3] But in 2007, an island region of stability was reported where a fourth planet could exist.[4] Characteristics[edit] Upsilon Andromedae e is a so-called “Jupiter-twin” because it has a mass slightly greater than Jupiter's and orbits at a similar distance as Jupiter from the Sun, at precisely 5.2456 AU compared to 5.2043 AU for Jupiter.

HAT-P-5b is a transiting extrasolar planet located approximately 1100 light-years away in the constellation of Lyra, orbiting the star HAT-P-5. It is a hot Jupiter with a mass 6% greater than Jupiter and a radius 26% greater than Jupiter, corresponding to a density of 0.66 g/cm3, which is less than water. This planet was found by Bakos et al. on October 9, 2007.[1] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Media related to HAT-P-5 b at Wikimedia Commons "HAT-P-5 b".

WASP-16b. WASP-16b is an extrasolar planet that travels around its star, WASP-16, every 3.12 days. Likely a hot Jupiter. Its mass is near .855 of Jupiter, the radius is 1.008 of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2009 by a team led by T.A. Lister as part of the Wide Angle Search for Planets project.[1] References[edit] Jump up ^ Lister, Timothy A; et al. (3 August 2009).
