Astronomy:Kepler-27

From HandWiki

Kepler-27 is a star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension  19h 28m 56.81962s, Declination +41° 05′ 09.1405″.[1] With an apparent visual magnitude of 15.855,[2] this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. In 2024, Kepler-27 was discovered to be a binary star with a red dwarf companion 1.975 arcseconds away.[3]

Planetary system

The planetary system of Kepler-27 comprising two small gas giants on eccentric orbits[4] was discovered in late 2011.[5] The planets Kepler-27b and Kepler-27c have equilibrium temperatures of 610 K and 481 K, respectively.[6] In 2021, a third, sub-Neptune-sized planet was confirmed, orbiting closer in than the other two planets.[7][8]
