Discovery and atmospheric characterization of giant planet Kepler-12b: An inflated radius outlier

We report the discovery of planet Kepler-12b (KOI-20), which at 1.695 ± 0.030 R [subscript J] is among the handful of planets with super-inflated radii above 1.65 R [subscript J]. Orbiting its slightly evolved G0 host with a 4.438 day period, this 0.431 ± 0.041 M [subscript J] planet is the least ir...
