Abstract (from CDS):

We report on the discovery and confirmation of Kepler-7b, a transiting planet with unusually low density. The mass is less than half that of Jupiter, MP= 0.43 MJ, but the radius is 50% larger, RP= 1.48 RJ. The resulting density, ρP= 0.17 g/cm3, is the second lowest reported so far for an extrasolar planet. The orbital period is fairly long, P = 4.886 days, and the host star is not much hotter than the Sun, Teff= 6000 K. However, it is more massive and considerably larger than the Sun, M{sstarf}= 1.35 M☉ and R{sstarf}= 1.84 R☉, and must be near the end of its life on the main sequence.
