WASP-14b is an extrasolar planet discovered in 2008. This is one of the densest exoplanets known.[1] Its radius best fits the model of Fortney.[2]
Rotation
As of August 2008, the most recent calculation of WASP-14b's Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and so spin-orbit angle was that of Joshi.[3] This is −14 ± 17 degrees. It is too eccentric for its age and so is possibly pulled into its orbit by another planet.[1]
