KELT-2Ab
KELT-2Ab is an extrasolar planet that orbits the star KELT-2A approximately 440 light-years away in the constellation of Auriga.[1] It was discovered by the KELT-North survey via the transit method - so both its mass and radius are known quite precisely - in a paper led by Thomas Beatty. As of its discovery KELT-2Ab is the fifth-brightest transiting Hot Jupiter known that has a well constrained mass. This makes the KELT-2A system a promising target for future space- and ground-based follow-up observations to learn about the planet's atmosphere.[3]
The water vapour was detected in planetary atmosphere in 2018.[4]
The star KELT-2A is a member of the common-proper-motion binary star system KELT-2 (HD 42176). KELT-2B is an early K dwarf approximately 295 astronomical units away.
