Gas giant around TOI-4914
It is 1.15 times Jupiter's radius, closest in size to Jupiter, and 227.0 times Earth's mass, at 0.59 g/cm3, less dense than Earth. A year there lasts 10.60 days, on an orbit 4 times closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun. Its equilibrium temperature is 894 K, hot enough to melt lead. The host star TOI-4914 runs at 5805 K with 1.03 times the Sun's mass.

What the transit gives
The depth of the dip is the ratio of the two discs, so the radius follows.

:NOTE
Its orbit is noticeably elliptical, eccentricity 0.41, so the starlight it receives changes substantially over one year.

:NOTE
Found by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in 2024. TESS scans most of the sky in 27-day stretches, so it favours bright nearby stars and short orbits over the faint distant ones Kepler specialised in.

:NOTE
Two independent measurements sit behind this page: a dip in starlight for the size, and something else entirely for the mass. Together they make a density.
