| Planet | Orbital period | Distance from star | Radius (Earths) | Mass (Earths) | Found | Method |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WASP-8 b | 8.159 days | 0.0801 AU | 12.67 | 807.3 | 2010 | Transit |
| WASP-8 c | 11.84 years | 5.28 AU | at least 3,003 | 2013 | Radial Velocity |
"At least" is a minimum mass. Radial velocity can only measure mass times the sine of the orbit's tilt.
