KELT-3b
Exoplanet orbiting KELT-3
KELT-3b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the F-type main-sequence star KELT-3 690 light years in the zodiac constellation Leo. It was discovered in 2013 by KELT's telescope in Arizona.
Properties
This planet has 44% more mass than Jupiter, but has expanded to 1.34 times the radius of the latter. It has a temperature of 1,811 K, which gives it a Hot Jupiter class. KELT-3b has a lower density than Jupiter, and completes a revolution in less in 3 days. This corresponds with an orbital distance of 0.04 AU, which is 10 times closer than Mercury (planet) orbits the Sun.
The planetary equilibrium temperature is 1829±42 K, but measured temperature is hotter at 2132±133 K.[3] The radiation of the moderately active host star KELT-3 do not produce a detectable ionization and consequent Lyman-alpha line emission in the atmosphere of the KELT-3b. [4]
Discovery
KELT-3b was discovered in 2013. The light curves and parameters of both the planet and the star were observed. The paper also states that there is uncertainty about the system’s[further explanation needed] age.[1]
