Kepler-23 is a star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan. It is orbited by three known exoplanets. With an apparent visual magnitude of 14.0, [3] this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
Planets b and c were discovered in 2011 and were confirmed in 2012. [6] An additional planet d (Kepler-23d) was discovered in 2014, and was concluded to likely be a super-Earth. [7]

Kepler-15 (also known as KOI-128 or KIC 11359879 is a G-type main sequence star with a mass of 1.018 solar masses and a radius of 1.253 solar radius. The star lies at a temperature of 5595 Kelvin.
Kepler-33 is a star about 4,000 light-years in the constellation of Cygnus, with a system of five known planets. Having just begun to evolve off from the main sequence, its radius and mass are difficult to ascertain, although data available in 2020 shows its best-fit mass of 1.3M☉ and radius of 1.6R☉ are compatible with a model of a subgiant star.
Kepler-80, also known as KOI-500, is a red dwarf star of the spectral type M0V. This stellar classification places Kepler-80 among the very common, cool, class M stars that are still within their main evolutionary stage, known as the main sequence. Kepler-80, like other red dwarf stars, is smaller than the Sun, and it has both radius, mass, temperatures, and luminosity lower than that of our own star. Kepler-80 is found approximately 1,223 light years from the Solar System, in the stellar constellation Cygnus, also known as the Swan.
Kepler-33b is an extrasolar planet orbiting Kepler-33 in the constellation Cygnus. It is one of five planets orbiting Kepler-33.
Kepler-32 is an M-type main sequence star located about 1070 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Cygnus. Discovered in January 2012 by the Kepler spacecraft, it shows a 0.58 ± 0.05 solar mass (M☉), a 0.53 ± 0.04 solar radius (R☉), and temperature of 3900.0 K, making it half the mass and radius of the Sun, two-thirds its temperature and 5% its luminosity.
Kepler-24 is a star in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension 19h 21m 39.0s, Declination +38° 20′ 37″. With an apparent visual magnitude of 15.5, this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
Kepler-26 is a star in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension 18h 59m 45.8407s Declination +46° 33′ 59.438″. With an apparent visual magnitude of 15.5, this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
Kepler-138, also known as KOI-314, is a red dwarf located in the constellation Lyra, 219 light years from Earth. It is located within the field of vision of the Kepler spacecraft, the satellite that NASA's Kepler Mission used to detect planets transiting their stars.
Kepler-30 is a star in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension 19h 01m 08.0747s Declination +38° 56′ 50.219″. With an apparent visual magnitude of 15.5, this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. Kepler-30 is exhibiting a strong starspot activity.
Kepler-31 is a star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan. It is orbited by three known exoplanets. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension 19h 36m 05.5270s, Declination +45° 51′ 11.106″. With an apparent visual magnitude of 14.0, this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
Kepler-27 is a star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension 19h 28m 56.81962s, Declination +41° 05′ 09.1405″. With an apparent visual magnitude of 15.855, this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
Kepler-28 is a star in the northern constellation of Cygnus., It is orbited by two exoplanets. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension 19h 28m 32.8905s, Declination +42° 25′ 45.959″. With an apparent visual magnitude of 15.036, this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
Kepler-29 is a Sun-like star in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension 19h 53m 23.6020s, Declination +47° 29′ 28.436″. With an apparent visual magnitude of 15.456, this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. It is a solar analog, having a close mass, radius, and temperature as the Sun. Currently the age of the star has not been determined due to its 2780 light-year distance. As of 2016 no Jovian exoplanets of 0.9–1.4 MJ have been found at a distance of 5 AU.
Kepler-45, formerly known as KOI-254, is a star in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is located at the celestial coordinates: right ascension 19h 31m 29.495s, declination +41° 03′ 51.37″. With an apparent visual magnitude of 16.88, this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
Kepler-296 is a binary star system in the constellation Draco. The primary star appears to be a late K-type main-sequence star, while the secondary is a red dwarf.
Kepler-23c is a Super-Neptune-sized exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-23, located in the constellation Cygnus. The planet is 0.278 times wider than the Jupiter but is 0.189 Jupiter masses. The planet was discovered using data taken from Kepler spacecraft. It is likely a gas giant or similiar to that.
Kepler-186e is a confirmed exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star Kepler-186, approximately 582 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus. It is near the optimistic habitable zone but probably not in it, possibly making it have a runaway greenhouse effect, like Venus. The exoplanet was found by using the transit method, in which the dimming effect that a planet causes as it crosses in front of its star is measured. Four additional planets orbiting the star were also discovered.
Kepler-160 is a main-sequence star approximately the width of our Galactic arm away in the constellation Lyra, first studied in detail by the Kepler Mission, a NASA-led operation tasked with discovering terrestrial planets. The star, which is very similar to the Sun in mass and radius, has three confirmed planets and one unconfirmed planet orbiting it.
