P. R. McCullough, J. E. Stys, Jeff A. Valenti, C. M. Johns-Krull, K. A. Janes, J. N. Heasley, B. A. Bye, C. Dodd, S. W. Fleming, A. Pinnick, R. Bissinger, B. L. Gary, P. J. Howell, and T. Vanmunster, A Transiting Planet of a Sun-like Star, Astrophysical Journal, Volume 648(2006), pages 1228 - 1238, DOI: 10.1086/505651. A planet transits an 11th magnitude, G1 V star in the constellation Corona Borealis. ...we estimate it to be 200±20 pc. Of the 10 stars currently known to host extrasolar transiting planets, the star XO-1 is the most similar to the Sun in its physical characteristics: its radius is 1.0±0.08 R , its mass is 1.0±0.03 M , its Vsini<3 km s-1, and its metallicity [Fe/H] is 0.015±0.04. The orbital period of the planet XO-1b is 3.941534±0.000027 days, one of the longer ones known. The planetary mass is 0.90±0.07MJ, which is marginally larger than that of other transiting planets with periods between 3 and 4 days....
