WASP-135b was discovered by the SuperWASP planetary transit survey.
It orbits the star WASP-135, a 13th magnitude Sun-like G5 variable star,
located approximately 980 light-years away in the constellation of
Hercules.
Its was discovered in 2015, via the transit method, following which its
mass was confirmed via the radial velocity method.
The planet is a "hot Jupiter", about 1.3 times the radius of Jupiter and ap-
proximately 1.9 times as massive. Its inflated radius may be due to the in-
tense heating from its parent star, which causes the outer layers of its
atmosphere to bloat.
WASP-135b orbits its star approximately once every 1.4 days.
