GJ 9827 is a star in the constellation of Pisces. It is a K-type main-sequence star with an apparent magnitude of 10.250. [2] It is 97 light-years (30 parsecs ) away, based on parallax. [1]

The rotation period of the star could not be determined as of 2020, and could be either around 15 or 30 days, depending on the interpretation of available data. [5]

Planetary system

GJ 9827 has 3 transiting planets seen by the Kepler space observatory in their K2 survey. As of October 2017, it was the closest star discovered to have transiting exoplanets found by either the Kepler or K2 missions. The planets (b, c, d) have radii of 1.62, 1.27, and 2.09 times that of the Earth, and periods of 1.209, 3.648, and 6.201 days (ratios 1:3:5). [2] Because of its close distance the system is considered an excellent target for studying atmospherics of exoplanets.

In late 2017, the masses of all three planets were determined using the Planet Finder Spectrograph on the Magellan II Telescope. Planet b was found to be very iron-rich, planet c appears to be mainly rocky, and planet d is a typical volatile-rich planet. GJ 9827b is noted as being one of the densest planets yet found, with its mass containing about ≥50% iron. [2]

More precise radial velocity measurements released in late February 2018 revealed that all three planets have a lower density than Earth and have some amount of volatiles in their compositions. GJ 9827b and c are mainly rocky (containing less than 1% mass fraction of water, and negligible helium and hydrogen) with very thin volatile envelopes, [5] while GJ 9827d is more akin to a mini-Neptune. The loss of primordial atmosphere was indirectly confirmed in 2020, as no helium was detected at GJ 9827 d. [8] With a mass of about 1.5 ME, GJ 9827c is one of the least massive planets detected with radial velocity. [9] The atmospheres for GJ 9827b and GJ 9827d were not detected at all in 2021 observations. [10]

A 2023 study using the Hubble Space Telescope detected water vapor in the atmosphere of GJ 9827 d. This study describes the planet as a potential ocean world. [11] [12]

A 2024 study used the Échelle SPectrograph for Rocky Exoplanets and Stable Spectroscopic Observations (ESPRESSO) of the European Southern Observatory to model the stellar activity of GJ 9827 and derive masses, orbital periods and radial velocity amplitudes of planets b, c, and d. [6]

Kepler-19 is a G7V star that is host to three known planets - Kepler-19b, Kepler-19c, and Kepler-19d. It is located about 720 light-years away in the constellation Lyra, five arcminutes northwest of the much more distant open cluster NGC 6791.

K2-3, also known as EPIC 201367065, is a red dwarf star with three known planets. It is on the borderline of being a late orange dwarf/K-type star, but because of its temperature, it is classified as a red dwarf.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">GJ 3470 b</span> Hot Neptune orbiting GJ 3470

GJ 3470 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star GJ 3470, located in the constellation Cancer. With a mass of just under 14 Earth-masses and a radius approximately 4.3 times that of Earth's, it is likely something akin to Neptune despite the initially strong belief that the planet was not covered in clouds like the gas giants in the Solar System.

HD 3167 is a single, orange-hued star in the zodiac constellation of Pisces that hosts a system with three exoplanets. The star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.97. The distance to HD 3167 can be determined from its annual parallax shift of 21.1363 mas as measured by the Gaia space observatory, yielding a range of 154 light years. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.204″ per year. Since it was first photographed during the Palomar observatory sky survey in 1953, it had moved over 12.5″ by 2017. The star is moving away from the Earth with an average heliocentric radial velocity of +19.5 km/s.

K2-19 is an early K-type or late G-type main sequence star that is magnetically active, and has a light curve that exhibits variations in brightness of ~1%. It is located approximately 976 light-years away in the constellation Virgo. Three confirmed transiting exoplanets are known to orbit this star.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">K2-18</span> Red dwarf star in the constellation Leo

K2-18, also known as EPIC 201912552, is a red dwarf star with two planetary companions located 124 light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Leo.

K2-32 is a G9-type main sequence star slightly smaller and less massive than the sun. Four confirmed transiting exoplanets are known to orbit this star. A study of atmospheric escape from the planet K2-32b caused by high-energy stellar irradiation indicates that the star has always been a very slow rotator.

K2-24 is a metal-rich G3-type main sequence star larger and more massive than the Sun, located 560 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. Two confirmed transiting exoplanets are known to orbit this star. An attempt to detect stellar companions using adaptive optics imaging at the Keck telescope was negative however later observations using lucky imaging at the Danish 1.54 m telescope at La Silla Observatory detected a possible companion at 3.8 arcseconds distance from K2-24. This candidate companion being over 8 magnitudes fainter than K2-24 and with a color temperature of 5400 Kelvin, is inconsistent with a bound main sequence companion.

K2-315b is an exoplanet located 185.3 light years away from Earth in the southern zodiac constellation Libra. It orbits the red dwarf K2-315.

HD 106315, or K2-109, is a single star with a pair of close-orbiting exoplanets, located in the constellation of Virgo. Based on parallax measurements, this system lies at a distance of 356 light years from the Sun. At that range, the star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye, as it has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.95. But it is slowly drifting closer with a radial velocity of −3 km/s. As of 2020, multiplicity surveys have not detected any stellar companions to HD 106315.
