Lupus-TR-3 is a star located in the southern constellation Lupus. It has an apparent magnitude of 17.4, [2] making it visible only in power telescopes. Its distance is not well known, but it is estimated to be roughly 2,000 parsecs away from the Solar System. [2]
Lupus-TR-3 has a stellar classification of K1 V, [3] indicating that it is an ordinary K-type main-sequence star. It has 87% the mass of the Sun and 82% the radius of the Sun. It radiates at an effective temperature of 5,000 K . [2]
Lupus-TR-3 b is an exoplanet discovered in 2007 by personnel from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian using the transit method. It has four-fifths the mass of Jupiter, nine-tenths the radius, and has density of 1.4 g/cm3. This planet is a typical "hot Jupiter" as it orbits at 0.0464 AU distance from the star, taking 3.9 days to orbit. It is currently the faintest ground-based detection of a transiting planet. [2]

GSC 02652-01324 is an orange dwarf main sequence star approximately 523 light-years away in the constellation of Lyra.
Gliese 105 is a triple star system in the constellation of Cetus. It is located relatively near the Sun at a distance of 23.6 light-years. Despite this, even the brightest component is barely visible with the unaided eye (see Bortle scale). No planets have yet been detected around any of the stars in this system.
Lupus-TR-3b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star Lupus-TR-3. The planet was discovered in 2007 by personnel from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian observing at the Siding Spring Observatory in Australia, by the transit method.
WASP-11/HAT-P-10 is a binary star. It is a primary main-sequence orange dwarf star. Secondary is M-dwarf with a projected separation of 42 AU. The system is located about 424 light-years away in the constellation Aries.
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 close orbit.
HAT-P-4 is a wide binary star consisting of a pair of G-type main-sequence stars in the constellation of Boötes. It is also designated BD+36°2593.
XO-2 is a binary star. It consists of two components: XO-2S and XO-2N.
HAT-P-11, also designated GSC 03561-02092, is an orange dwarf metal rich star about 123 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. This star is notable for its relatively large rate of proper motion. The magnitude of this star is about 9, 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.
GSC 03549-02811, also known as Kepler-1) is a yellow main-sequence star similar to the Sun. This star is located approximately 704 light-years away in the constellation of Draco. The apparent magnitude of this star is 11.41, 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 5 billion years.
GSC 02620-00648 is a double star in the constellation Hercules. The brighter of the pair is a magnitude 12 star located approximately 1,660 light-years away. This star is about 1.18 times as massive as the Sun.
HAT-P-3, is a metal-rich K5 dwarf star located about 441 light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. At a magnitude of about 11.5 it is not visible to the naked eye but is visible in a small to medium-sized amateur telescope. It is believed to be a relatively young star and has a slightly enhanced level of chromospheric activity.
HD 73267 is a star in the southern constellation Pyxis, near the western constellation border with Puppis. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.889 and can be viewed with a small telescope. The distance to HD 73267 is 164 light years based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +51.8 km/s. It has an absolute magnitude of 5.24.
WASP-19 is a magnitude 12.3 star located in the Vela constellation of the southern hemisphere. This star has been found to host a transiting hot Jupiter-type planet in tight orbit.
2MASS J04414489+2301513 is a young star system hosting a planet and a couple of brown dwarfs, approximately 470 light years away.
HAT-P-33 is a late-F dwarf star. It is orbited by a planet called HAT-P-33b. A search for a binary companion star using adaptive optics at the MMT Observatory was negative.
HIP 41378 is a star located 346 light-years away in the constellation of Cancer. The star has an apparent magnitude of 8.92. This F-type main sequence dwarf has a mass of 1.15 M☉ and a radius of 1.25 R☉. It has a surface temperature of about 6,251 K.
EBLM J0555-57 is a triple star system approximately 670 light-years from Earth. EBLM J0555-57Ab, the smallest star in the system, orbits its primary star with a period of 7.8 days, and at the time of discovery, was the smallest known star with a mass sufficient to enable the fusion of hydrogen in its core.
DH Tauri, also known as DH Tau, is a type M star, located 140 parsecs away. It forms a binary system with DI Tauri 15″ away, and has a substellar companion, either a brown dwarf or massive exoplanet.
GSC 03949-00967 is a G-type main-sequence star about 1190 light-years away. It is older than the Sun, yet is enriched by heavy elements compared to the Sun, having 160% of solar abundance.
HATS-3 is a F-type main-sequence star. Its surface temperature is 6351±76 K. HATS-3 is relatively depleted in its concentration of heavy elements, with a metallicity Fe/H index of −0.157±0.07, but is slightly younger than the Sun at an age of 3.2+0.6
−0.4 billion years.
