    The planet WASP-79b is named Pollera. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Panama, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. A pollera is the traditional costume the woman wears in the El Punto, a Panamanian dance.[2][3]


    Host star


    WASP-79, or CD-30 1812, is a F-type dwarf star located at 240 parsecs (810 light years) away from Earth. With 1.38 M☉ and 1.53 R☉, it is both larger and more massive than the Sun. Its effective temperature is 6,600 K, making it hotter than the Sun.[1]

    The star WASP-79 is named Montuno. Montuno is the traditional costume the man wears in the “El Punto”, a Panamanian dance.[2]


    Characteristics


    WASP-79b is a very large hot jupiter that is among the largest exoplanets discovered although its size is uncertain. It is most likely to be larger at 2.09 ± 0.14 RJ (approximately 300,000 kilometers across) with a temperature of 1,900 ± 50 K. However, it could be as small as 1.7 ± 0.11 RJ (approximately 240,000 kilometers across), which is comparable to the size of another hot jupiter WASP-78b, with a temperature at 1,770 ± 50 K. Despite being larger than Jupiter, it is slightly less massive.[1]

    The planet is orbiting the host star at nearly-polar orbit with respect to star's equatorial plane, inclination being equal to −95.2+0.9
    −1.0    °.[4]

    In 2019 and 2020, the transmission spectra of WASP-79b were taken utilizing HST and Spitzer Space Telescope, with best fit being the hazy atmosphere containing about 1% water[5] and traces of Iron(I) hydride.[6][7] The presence of iron hydride was confirmed in 2021, along with tentative detection of vanadium oxide.[8] Also, in 2022 an atmospheric sodium has been detected.[9]

    WASP-79 b (также известна как Pollera) — подтверждённая экзопланета, вращающаяся вокруг жёлто-белой карликовой звезды главной последовательности WASP-79. Находится примерно в 810 св. лет (248 парсек) от Солнечной системы в созвездии Эридана. Планета была открыта с помощью транзитного метода группой астрономов, работающих в рамках программы SuperWASP в 2012 году[2].
