          Description This hot Jupiter planet was announced at the Extreme Solar Systems II conference in Jackson Hole by the WASP team. The K2 mission discovered two additional transiting planets in 2015, and an outer giant planet was discovered by radial velocity measurements. This super-Earth planet was discovered by the K2 mission which measured transit timing variations at the inner hot Jupiter. Radial velocity measurements indicate this is a rocky planet. This Neptune-sized outer planet was discovered by the K2 mission which measured transit timing variations at the inner hot Jupiter. WASP-47c was discovered from radial velocity follow-up of the WASP-47 system.

          Planet sizes

          The following plot shows the approximate sizes of the planets in this system The Solar System planets are shown as a comparison. Note that unless the radius has been determined through a transit observation, this is only an approximation (see Lissauer et al. 2011b).

          Habitable zone

          The following plot shows the approximate location of the planets in this system with respect to the habitable zone (green) and the size of the star (red). This is only an estimate, using the star's spectral type and mass. Note that if no green band is shown in the plot, then the planet's orbit is far outside the habitable zone. The equations of Selsis, Kasting et al are used to draw the inner and outer boundaries.
