From high - resolution spectroscopy of the star we estimate a stellar effective temperature of Teff = 6100 + / - 150 K, and from high - precision z and B photometry of the transit we constrain the ratio of the semi-major axis and the stellar radius to be a / R = 6.03 + / - 0.13.
High - precision radial - velocity measurements confirm a sinusoidal variation with the period and phase predicted by the photometry, and rule out the presence of line - bisector variations that would indicate that the spectroscopic orbit is spurious.
