It is most likely to be larger at 2.09 ± 0.14 RJ (approximately 300,000 kilometers across) with a temperature of 1,900 ± 50 K. However, it could be as small as 1.7 ± 0.11 RJ (approximately 240,000 kilometers across), which is comparable to the size of another hot jupiter WASP-78b, with a temperature at 1,770 ± 50 K. Despite being larger than Jupiter, it is slightly less massive.
[4] In 2019 and 2020, the transmission spectra of WASP-79b were taken utilizing HST and Spitzer Space Telescope, with best fit being the hazy atmosphere containing about 1% water[5] and traces of Iron(I) hydride.
