Abstract (from CDS):

We report the discovery from WASP-South of a new Jupiter-like extrasolar planet, WASP-16b, which transits its solar analog host star every 3.12 days. Analysis of the transit photometry and radial velocity spectroscopic data leads to a planet with Rp= 1.008±0.071 RJup and Mp= 0.855 ± 0.059 MJup, orbiting a host star with R*= 0.946±0.054 R☉ and M*= 1.022±0.101 M☉. Comparison of the high resolution stellar spectrum with synthetic spectra and stellar evolution models indicates the host star is a near-solar metallicity ([Fe/H] =0.01±0.10) solar analog (Teff= 5700±150 K and log g = 4.5±0.2) of intermediate age (τ = 2.3+5.8–2.2Gyr).
