KELT-2 (also called HD 42176) is a binary star located about 439 light-years away in the constellation Auriga. The apparent magnitude of the system is 8.68[5], which means it is not visible to the naked eye but can be seen with binoculars. The system is moving towards the Sun at over 40 km/s.[2]
Description
[edit]KELT-2A is the primary star in the common-proper-motion binary star system KELT-2 (HD 42176). It is an F-type main sequence star[1] about 1.314 times as massive as the sun[5]. It has about 1.84 times the Sun's radius and radiates 3.5 times the Sun's luminosity at a temperature of about 6148 K.[5] It is 3.97 billion years old and has a rotational velocity of around 9 km/s.[5] KELT-2B is an early K dwarf approximately 295 AU away, which was discovered simultaneously with the planet KELT-2Ab in 2012.[3] It has 78% of the Sun's mass, 70% of its radius, and an effective temperature of 4850±150 K.[3]
Planetary system
[edit]This star has one known planet, the extrasolar planet KELT-2Ab, a hot jupiter orbiting the star at an average distance of 0.05504±0.00086 AU with an orbital period of 4.11379±0.00001 days.[3]
