HAT-P-11, also designated GSC 03561-02092 and Kepler-3, is a metal-rich orange dwarf star with a planetary system, 123 light-years (38 parsecs ) away in the constellation Cygnus. This star is notable for its relatively large rate of proper motion. The apparent magnitude of this star is about 9.6, which means it is not visible to the naked eye but can be seen with a medium-sized amateur telescope on a clear dark night. The age of this star is about 6.5 billion years. [3]

The star has active latitudes that generate starspots. [7] The spots are similar in distribution to those on the Sun, but HAT-P-11 is a more active star and has a starspot coverage approximately 100 times greater than the Sun. [8] The star appears to have an unusually small radius, which can be explained by the anomalously high helium fraction. [9]

An exoplanet, designated HAT-P-11b, was discovered by the HATNet Project using the transit method, believed to be a little larger than the planet Neptune. [3]

The planet orbits out of alignment from the star's spin axis, with an obliquity of about 100°. [7] This star system was within the field of view of the Kepler Mission planet-hunter spacecraft. [3] Water vapor and ammonia have been detected in the atmosphere of HAT-P-11b. [11]

A trend in the radial velocity measurements taken to confirm the planet indicated a possible additional body in the system. [3] This was confirmed in 2018 when a second planet, HAT-P-11c, was detected on an approximately nine-year orbit. [12] In 2020, an astrometric detection of HAT-P-11c was published, along with Pi Mensae b, allowing its inclination and true mass to be determined. [13]

Multiple 2024 studies present conflicting results about HAT-P-11c. One study suggests that the radial velocity variations attributed to HAT-P-11c may actually be caused by a magnetic activity cycle of the star. If this is the case, an outer planet may still exist given the evidence for one from astrometry, but farther from the star and with a different mass than previously thought. [11] Another study instead claims further confirmation of the previously proposed planet. [14] A third paper, published in response to the first, also corroborates the planetary nature of HAT-P-11c based on additional radial velocity data. [15]

HD 147506, also known as HAT-P-2 and formally named Hunor, is a magnitude 8.7 F8 dwarf star that is somewhat larger and hotter than the Sun. The star is approximately 419 light-years from Earth and is positioned near the keystone of Hercules. It is estimated to be 2 to 3 billion years old, towards the end of its main sequence life. There is one known transiting exoplanet, and a second planet not observed to transit.

The Hungarian Automated Telescope Network (HATNet) project is a network of six small fully automated "HAT" telescopes. The scientific goal of the project is to detect and characterize extrasolar planets using the transit method. This network is used also to find and follow bright variable stars. The network is maintained by the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian.

The Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) is a ground-based robotic search for exoplanets. The facility is located at Paranal Observatory in the Atacama desert in northern Chile, about 2 km from ESO's Very Large Telescope and 0.5 km from the VISTA Survey Telescope. Science operations began in early 2015. The astronomical survey is managed by a consortium of seven European universities and other academic institutions from Chile, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Prototypes of the array were tested in 2009 and 2010 on La Palma, and from 2012 to 2014 at Geneva Observatory.
