KELT-24 (HD 93148, MASCARA-3) is a single star in the constellation Ursa Major at a distance of approximately 316 light-years (about 96.8 parsecs) from Sun. The apparent magnitude of the star is +8.33m. The star's age is estimated to be about 1.6 billion years. [2] [3] [4] As an F-type main-sequence star, it is similar to the Sun, but slightly hotter and more luminous.
This star was first catalogued in the Henry Draper Catalogue as HD 93148. The Henry Draper Catalogue gave stars visible to the naked eye in suitable conditions a designation, indicating that this star can be seen with the naked eye. But in 2019, the Multi-site All-Sky Camera and the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope announced the discovery of the exoplanet KELT-24b/MASCARA-3b around this star. Thus, it is most commonly known as KELT-24, although the star is sometimes catalogued as MASCARA-3.
KELT-24 is a yellow-white star with a spectral class of F5 or F7. Its mass is about 1.4 M☉, its radius is about 1.555 R☉, and its luminosity is about 3.466 L☉. Its effective temperature is about 6437 K.
In 2019, the discovery of the Hot Jupiter type planet KELT-24b/MASCARA-3b was announced by the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA and the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope. TESS data confirmed that no additional companions are orbiting this star. [5] [6] Since this discovery, the system is now called KELT-24 or MASCARA-3.

HD 101930, also known as Gliese 3683, is an orange hued star with an orbiting exoplanet located in the southern constellation Centaurus. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.21, making it faintly visible in binoculars but not to the naked eye. The system is located relatively close at a distance of 98 light years but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 18.4 km/s. It has a relatively large proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere with an angular velocity of 0.320″·yr−1.
HD 109749 is a binary star system about 206 light years away in the constellation of Centaurus. The pair have a combined apparent visual magnitude of 8.08, which is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The primary component has a close orbiting exoplanet companion. The system is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −13.2 km/s.
HD 149143, also called Rosalíadecastro, is a star with a close orbiting exoplanet in the Ophiuchus constellation. Its apparent visual magnitude is 7.89 and the absolute magnitude is 3.87. The system is located at a distance of 239 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 12 km/s.
WASP-4 is a G-type main-sequence star approximately 891 light-years away in the constellation of Phoenix. Despite its advanced age, the star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by a giant planet on a close orbit.
WASP-18 is a magnitude 9 star located 400 light-years away in the Phoenix constellation of the southern hemisphere. It has a mass of 1.29 solar masses.
HD 15082 is a star located roughly 399 light years away in the northern constellation of Andromeda. The star is a Delta Scuti variable and a planetary transit variable. A hot Jupiter type extrasolar planet, named WASP-33b or HD 15082b, orbits this star with an orbital period of 1.22 days. It is the first Delta Scuti variable known to host a planet.
HD 220773 is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.10, which is too faint to be visible with the naked eye. The distance to this system, as determined by parallax measurements, is 165 light years, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −37.7 km/s. The star shows a high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.187 arcsec yr−1.
HD 222155 is a star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It is a yellow star that can be viewed with binoculars or a small telescope, but is too faint to be seen with the naked eye at an apparent visual magnitude of 7.1. The imaging survey in 2017 did not detect any stellar companions to HD 222155.
KELT-4Ab is an extrasolar planet that orbits the star KELT-4A, in the star system KELT-4. The planet is approximately 760 ly (230 pc) away in the constellation of Leo. The planet was discovered by the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT).
KELT-9b is an exoplanet and ultra-hot Jupiter that orbits the late B-type/early A-type star KELT-9, located about 670 light-years from Earth. Detected using the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope, the discovery of KELT-9b was announced in 2016. As of October 2022, it is the hottest known exoplanet.
WASP-47 is a star similar in size and brightness to the Sun about 870 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius. It lies within the Kepler K2 campaign field 3. It was first noticed to have a hot Jupiter exoplanet orbiting every 4 days in 2012 by the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) team. While it was thought to be a typical hot Jupiter system, three more planets were found in 2015: an outer gas giant within the habitable zone, a hot Neptune exterior to the hot Jupiter's orbit and a super-Earth interior to the hot Jupiter's orbit. WASP-47 is the only planetary system known to have both planets near the hot Jupiter and another planet much further out.
HD 7449 is a binary star system about 126 light-years way. The primary star, HD 7449 A, is a main-sequence star belonging to the spectral class F9.5. It is younger than the Sun. The primary star is slightly depleted of heavy elements, having 80% of solar abundance.
KELT-1 is a F-type main-sequence star. Its surface temperature is 6518±50 K. It is similar to the Sun in its concentration of heavy elements, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.008±0.073, but is much younger at an age of 1.75±0.25 billion years. The star is rotating very rapidly.
HD 221420 is a likely binary star system in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.81, allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. The object is relatively close at a distance of 102 light years but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 26.5 km/s.
CD−34°8618, also known as KELT-13 or WASP-167, is a yellowish-white hued star located in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It has an apparent magnitude of 10.52, making it readily visible in medium sized telescopes, but not to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft, the object is estimated to be approximately 1,350 light years away from the Solar System. It appears to be drifting closer to it, having a radial velocity of −0.53 km/s.
KELT-20, also known as MASCARA-2, is an A2 main sequence star in the constellation of Cygnus, about 447 light years away.
HD 85628 (MASCARA-4) is a binary star system in the constellation of Carina. The host star, HD 85628 A, is an A-type main-sequence star, the primary star of the system, with a hot Jupiter in orbit around it. The secondary star is HD 85628 B, a K-type main-sequence star. Little is known about it.
HD 201585 is a star located in the equatorial constellation Equuleus. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.23, making it readily visible in small telescopes but not to the naked eye. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 594 light-years and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 14 km/s. At its current distance, HD 201585's brightness is diminished by three-tenths of a magnitudes due to interstellar extinction and it has an absolute magnitude of +1.81. HD 201585 is the star's Henry Draper Catalogue designation. It is also designated as MASCARA-1 meaning that it is the first star observed by the MASCARA exoplanet search program.
