Star mass
The estimated mass of the star Gaia DR2 6702242043883732864 is about 9 % of the Sun's mass, or approximately 94.3 Jupiter masses.

The mass of a star is the total amount of matter it contains. It is one of the most important properties of a star, as it determines almost everything about how the star lives, changes, and dies. In astronomy, star mass is usually measured in solar masses (M☉) — where 1 solar mass is equal to the mass of our Sun... icon More about Star mass in StellarGuide

Star size
Radius of the star Gaia DR2 6702242043883732864 is not known. Its estimated value based on other similar stars is about 10 % solar radii.

The size of a star refers to its radius — the distance from its center to its surface. Star size is usually measured in solar radii (R☉), where 1 solar radius equals approximately 696,000 kilometers. Depending on their type and life stage, stars can be much smaller or larger than the Sun... icon More about Star size in StellarGuide

Star temperature
Surface temperature of Gaia DR2 6702242043883732864 is estimated to be 2600 K, which is 45 % of the temperature on the surface of the Sun.

The temperature of a star refers to the temperature at its surface, also called the photosphere. It is measured in kelvins (K), the standard unit for temperature in astronomy. A star’s temperature tells us a lot about its physical properties and where it stands in its evolutionary stage... icon More about Star temperature in StellarGuide

A giant planet candidate near Boyajian’s star may look oversized because a broad ring system surrounds it, not because the planet itself is unusually large. New atmospheric models also show why methane and carbon monoxide can vary across hot gas giants, exposing major limits in simpler predictions.
