Hot Saturns

Exoplanetary Scratchpad [SysBP Img]

Hot Jupiters that are often inflated to well over Jupiter's size and thus have densities near that of Saturn.

Example Systems

• HAT-P-17 System - Star 90 parsecs away containing a transiting eccentric Hot Saturn (half of Jupiter's mass) and a long period cold Jupiter.
