WASP-127 is an old, photometrically stable, and slowly rotating G5 star. There is one planet currently known, a low density sub-Saturn type.[4]
Stellar system
WASP-127, nearing the end of its main sequence phase at 9.7 billion years old and with a radius 30% larger than that of the sun, has transitioned into the subgiant phase.[9]
Planetary system
Currently, one planet is known to orbit WASP-127, which is described as either a super-Neptune or a sub-Saturn planet with a mass 16% that of Jupiter and a heavily inflated radius 1.3 times that of Jupiter. This results in it being one of the least dense planets known. It orbits its star in just over 4 days.[7][6]
WASP-127b
Discovery
WASP-127b, along with WASP-136b and WASP-138b, was discovered by the Wide Angle Search for Planets. The host star, WASP-127, was monitored from 2006 to 2014, accumulating 87,349 photometric data points. Analysis of this data resulted in the discovery of the transits of WASP-127b across the face of its parent star. Follow-up photometry from various telescopes was utilized to refine the system parameters. Radial velocity measurements, conducted by the CORALIE spectrograph and the SOPHIE échelle spectrograph, served to confirm the planet's presence and ascertain its mass.[4]
