XO-4 is a star located approximately 896 light-years away from Earth in the Lynx constellation. It has a magnitude of about 11 and cannot be seen with the naked eye but is visible through a small telescope.[3] A search for a binary companion star using adaptive optics at MMT Observatory was negative.[6]

The star XO-4 is named Koit. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Estonia, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Koit is Estonian for dawn, and was named for a character in a folk tale written by Friedrich Robert Faehlmann.[7][8][9]

Planetary system

One known exoplanet, XO-4b, which is classified as a hot jupiter, orbits XO-4. This exoplanet was discovered in 2008 by the XO Telescope project using the transit method.[3] It has been named Hämarik, meaning dusk, and referring to a character from the same Faehlmann story featuring Koit.[10]

Notes

  1. ↑ eccentricity approximately equal to zero is expected theoretically and is consistent with the radial velocities and secondary eclipses timing[3][12]
