    WASP-10b is an extrasolar planet discovered in 2008 by SuperWASP using the transit method.It takes about 3 days to orbit around WASP-10.Follow-up radial velocity observations showed that it is three times more massive than Jupiter, while the transit observations showed that its radius is only 8% larger than Jupiter's, giving the planet a density more similar to the Moon than a normal gas giant.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASP-10

    WASP-10 is a star in the constellation Pegasus.The SuperWASP project has observed and classified this star as a variable star, perhaps due to the eclipsing planet. [2]The star is likely older than Sun, has fraction of heavy elements close to solar abundance, and is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by the giant planet on the close orbit.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Angle_Search_for_Planets

    WASP or Wide Angle Search for Planets is an international consortium of several academic organisations performing an ultra-wide angle search for exoplanets using transit photometry. The array of robotic telescopes aims to survey the entire sky, simultaneously monitoring many thousands of stars at an apparent visual magnitude from about 7 to 13.

    WASP-11b/HAT-P-10b or WASP-11Ab/HAT-P-10Ab [3] is an extrasolar planet discovered in 2008. The discovery was announced (under the designation WASP-11b) by press release by the SuperWASP project in April 2008 along with planets WASP-6b through to WASP-15b, however at this stage more data was needed to confirm the parameters of the planets and the coordinates were not given.

    The sizes are listed in units of Jupiter radii (R J, 71 492 km).This list is designed to include all planets that are larger than 1.7 times the size of Jupiter.Some well-known planets that are smaller than 1.7 R J (19.055 R 🜨 or 121 536.4 km) have been included for the sake of comparison.

  8. WASP-193b - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASP-193b

    WASP-193b has a radius of 1.464 R J (104 664 km; 16.41 R 🜨), [1] meaning the planet is approximately 3.1 times more voluminous than Jupiter. [b] Despite its enormous size, the planet only has a mass of 0.139 M J (44.2 M E; 2.58 times that of Neptune), making it a super-Neptune, [1] which normally has less than half the radius (5-7 R 🜨 [14]).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASP-3b

    WASP-3b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star WASP-3 located approximately 800 light-years away in the constellation Lyra.It was discovered via the transit method by SuperWASP, and follow up radial velocity observations confirmed that WASP-3b is a planet.
