Come è stato scoperto
Primo pianeta scoperto nel 2010 con il transito e la velocità radiale (NASA Exoplanet Archive).
I suoi pianeti
WASP-8 b — 13 times Earth's width, a giant, Jupiter-sized or more; its year lasts 8 days; about 790 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2010 by transit.
WASP-8 c — 13 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a giant, Jupiter-sized or more; its year lasts about 12 Earth years; about −160 °C, below freezing; found in 2013 by radial velocity.
NASA Exoplanet Archive, Planetary Systems Composite Parameters (fetched 2026-11-02). Composite values: where a planet's size or mass was not measured, the archive estimates it from the other.
This research has made use of the NASA Exoplanet Archive, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology, under contract with NASA under the Exoplanet Exploration Program.
