About this world
TrES-1 b is a gas giant orbiting TrES-1, an orange dwarf (type K0V) 521 light-years from Earth. It is about 1.1 times the size of Jupiter and holds 0.84 Jupiter masses. It completes an orbit every 3.03 days at 0.039 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 1,140 K (867 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium. Its atmosphere has already been studied: 4 spectroscopic observations.
It was discovered in 2004 by transit with TrES. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction.
