KELT-4Ab
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The exoplanet was discovered by transit and is a Hot Jupiter planet orbiting a star in a triple star system, KELT-4. It is the fourth planet found in such a system.[5] As KELT-4A is the brightest host (V~10) of a Hot Jupiter in a hierarchical triple stellar system found so far researchers expect it may be useful in learning more about inflated planets.[1][6]
Star system
KELT-4 is a triple star system. KELT-4BC is a binary star system subcomponent of the triple, 328 ± 16 AU (4.91×1010 ± 2.4×109 km; 3.05×1010 ± 1.5×109 mi) away from KELT-4A and the projected separation between KELT-4B and KELT-4C is 10.30 ± 0.74 AU (1.541×109 ± 111,000,000 km; 957,000,000 ± 69,000,000 mi).[1]
