Notes. (a) The stellar radius estimates are based on Mathur et al. (2017). (b) The radii of the transiting primary and proposed secondary were estimated from the lightcurves of Teachey et al. (2018). The corresponding masses of the objects were estimated using structure models and evolution tracks from the following references.
