2024年10月24日 · WASP-6 b is a gas giant exoplanet that orbits a G-type star. Its mass is 0.37 Jupiters, it takes 3.4 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.04217 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in 2009.

WASP-6b, also named Boinayel, is an exoplanet approximately 650 light years away in the constellation Aquarius. It was discovered in 2008, by the WASP survey, by astronomical transit across its parent star WASP-6.

WASP-6, also officially named Márohu, is a type-G yellow dwarf star located about 651 light-years (200 parsecs) away in the Aquarius constellation. Dim at magnitude 12, it is visible through a moderate sized amateur telescope. The star is about 80% of the size and mass of the Sun and it is a little cooler. [4] .

2009年1月29日 · We report the discovery of WASP-6b, an inflated sub-Jupiter mass planet transiting every 3.3610060 +0.0000022-0.0000035 days a mildly metal-poor solar-type star of magnitude V=11.9.

WASP-6b was the third planet discovered by WASP-South, the Southern WASP camera array situated in South Africa. It was announced in 2009 in a paper led by Michaël Gillon of the University of Liège in Belgium. Prof. Gillon built the TRAPPIST-South telescope which has observed transits of many WASP-South planets.

2019年11月28日 · We present new observations of the transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-6b both from the ground with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) FOcal Reducer and Spectrograph (FORS2) from 0.45-0.83 m, and space with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) from 0.6-1.0 m and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) …

2013年10月22日 · We present a ground based optical transmission spectrum of the inflated sub-Jupiter mass planet WASP-6b. The spectrum was measured in twenty spectral channels from 480 nm to 860nm using a series of 91 spectra over a complete transit event.

The planetary system WASP-6 hosts at least one planet. This list shows all planetary and stellar components in the system. It gives a quick overview of the hierarchical architecture. This table lists all planets in the system WASP-6. This table lists all stars in the system WASP-6.

ABSTRACT We present a ground-based optical transmission spectrum of the inflated sub-Jupiter-mass planet WASP-6b. The spectrum was measured in 20 spectral channels from 480 nm to 860 nm using a series of 91 spectra over a complete transit event.

WASP-6b was WASP-South’s third planet, announced in 2009 by Gillon et al. It is a good target for studying exoplanet atmospheres since it is a bloated planet, only half a Jupiter mass but 20% larger than Jupiter. Nikolov et al (2014) have now pointed the Hubble Space Telescope at WASP-6b in transit, using the STIS spectrograph.
