SWEEPS-04

SWEEPS-04 is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star SWEEPS J175853.92−291120.6 in the constellation Sagittarius approximately 22000 light years away (based on a distance modulus of 14.1) from the Solar System. This planet was found in 2006 by the Sagittarius Window Eclipsing Extrasolar Planet Search (SWEEPS) program that uses transit method.
The upper limit on the planet's mass is 3.8 times the mass of Jupiter. The best fit radius is 0.81 times that of Jupiter, but the uncertainty in this value is large, around 12%. It orbits at an average distance of 8,200,000 km (0.055 AU) from the parent star, taking 4.2 days to revolve around it.
