Target details ......................... XO-2N
b
(or rarely XO-2Bb) is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star XO-2N,
the fainter component of XO-2 wide binary star in the constellation
Lynx.This planet was found by transit method in 2007 by Burke et al.
This was the second such planet found by the XO telescope.
Like most planets found by the transit method, it is a roughly
Jupiter sized planet that orbits very close to its host star; in
this case, it has a surface temperature of about 1200 K, so it
belongs to a group of exoplanets known as hot Jupiters. The planet
takes 2.6 days to orbit the star at the average distance of 0.0369
AU. The planet has mass of 57% of Jupiter and radius of 97% of
Jupiter. The radius is relatively large for its mass, probably due
to its intense heating from its nearby star that bloats the planet’s
atmosphere. The large radius for its mass gives a low density of 820
kg/m. |
