Abstract

We report the discovery of a planet transiting a moderately faint (V = 12.3 mag) late F star, with an orbital period of 3.92289 ± 0.00004 days. From the transit light curve and radial velocity measurements, we determine that the radius of the planet is R_p = 1.40 ± 0.06 R _Jup and that the mass is M_p = 0.78 ± 0.09 M _Jup. The density of the new planet, ρ_p = 0.35 ± 0.06 g cm ^-3, fits to the low-density tail of the currently known transiting planets. We find that the center of transit is at T _c = 2454417.9077 ± 0.0003 (HJD), and the total transit duration is 0.143 ± 0.004 days. The host star has M _⊙ = 1.28 ± 0.13 M _⊙ and R _⊙ = 1.32 ± 0.07 R _⊙.
