OGLE-TR-122 is a binary stellar system containing one of the smallest main-sequence stars whose radius has been measured. It was discovered when the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey observed the smaller star eclipsing the larger primary. The orbital period is approximately 7.3 days. The system's primary is thought to resemble the Sun. [2]
The smaller star, OGLE-TR-122B, is estimated to have a radius around 0.12 solar radii, or around 20% larger than Jupiter's, and a mass of around 0.1 solar masses, or approximately 100 times Jupiter's. This makes its average density approximately 50 times the Sun's [2] [3] or over 80 times the density of water. OGLE-TR-122b's mass is close to the lowest possible mass for a hydrogen-fusing star, estimated to be around 0.07 or 0.08 solar masses. [4] The observed transit provides the first direct evidence for a star with a radius comparable to Jupiter's. [2]
TrES-1b is an extrasolar planet approximately 523 light-years away in the constellation of Lyra. The planet's mass and radius indicate that it is a Jovian planet with a similar bulk composition to Jupiter. Unlike Jupiter, but similar to many other planets detected around other stars, TrES-1 is located very close to its star, and belongs to the class of planets known as hot Jupiters. The planet was discovered orbiting around GSC 02652-01324.
The red-giant branch (RGB), sometimes called the first giant branch, is the portion of the giant branch before helium ignition occurs in the course of stellar evolution. It is a stage that follows the main sequence for low- to intermediate-mass stars. Red-giant-branch stars have an inert helium core surrounded by a shell of hydrogen fusing via the CNO cycle. They are K- and M-class stars much larger and more luminous than main-sequence stars of the same temperature.
OGLE-TR-111 is a yellow dwarf star approximately 5,000 light-years away in the constellation of Carina. Having an apparent magnitude of about 17, this distant and dim star has not yet been cataloged. Because its apparent brightness changes when one of its planets transits, the star has been given the variable star designation V759 Carinae.
OGLE-TR-10 is a distant, magnitude 16 star in the constellation of Sagittarius. It is located near the Galactic Center. This star is listed as an eclipsing type variable star with the eclipse due to the passage of the planet as noted in the discovery papers.
OGLE-TR-132 is a distant magnitude 15.72 star in the star fields of the constellation Carina. Because of its great distance, about 4,900 light-years, and location in the crowded field it was not notable in any way. Because its apparent brightness changes when one of its planets transits, the star has been given the variable star designation V742 Carinae. The spectral type of the star is type F. A yellow-white, very metal-rich dwarf star, it is slightly hotter and more luminous than the Sun.
OGLE-TR-10b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star OGLE-TR-10.
The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) is a Polish astronomical project based at the University of Warsaw that runs a long-term variability sky survey (1992–present). The main goals are the detection and classification of variable stars, discovery of microlensing events, dwarf novae, and studies of the structure of the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds. Since the project began in 1992, it has discovered a multitude of extrasolar planets, together with the first planet discovered using the transit method (OGLE-TR-56b) and gravitational microlensing. The project has been led by professor Andrzej Udalski since its inception.
OGLE-TR-56 is a dim, distant, magnitude 17 Sun-like star located approximately 1,500 parsecs away in the constellation of Sagittarius. This star is listed as an eclipsing type variable star with the eclipse due to the passage of the planet as noted in the discovery papers.
OGLE-TR-56b is an extrasolar planet located approximately 1500 parsecs or 5000 light years away in the constellation of Sagittarius, orbiting the star OGLE-TR-56. This planet was the first known exoplanet to be discovered with the transit method. The object was discovered by the OGLE project, announced on July 5, 2002 and confirmed on January 4, 2003 by the Doppler technique. The period of this confirmed planet was the shortest until the confirmed discovery of WASP-12b on April 1, 2008. The short period and proximity of the OGLE-TR-56 b to its host mean it belongs to a class of objects known as hot Jupiters.
OGLE-TR-113 is a dim, distant magnitude 16 binary star in the star fields of the constellation Carina. Because of its distance of about 1170 light years, and location in a crowded field it was not notable in any way. Its apparent brightness changes when one of its planets transits, so the star has been given the variable star designation V752 Carinae. Spectral type of the star is type K dwarf star, slightly cooler and less luminous than the Sun.
OGLE-TR-123 is a binary stellar system containing one of the smallest main-sequence stars whose radius has been measured. It was discovered when the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey observed the smaller star eclipsing the larger primary. The orbital period is approximately 1.80 days.
OGLE-TR-182b is a transiting extrasolar planet. It is a hot Jupiter with a similar mass to Jupiter but a larger radius.
OGLE-TR-211b is a transiting planet in Carina constellation. Its radius is about 36% more than Jupiter and has mass 3% more than Jupiter, which is considered an “inflated Hot Jupiter”. The planet takes 3.7 days at about the same distance as 51 Pegasi b orbits around 51 Pegasi.
OGLE-TR-113b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star OGLE-TR-113.
OGLE-TR-111b is an extrasolar planet approximately 5,000 light-years away in the constellation of Carina. The planet is currently the only confirmed planet orbiting the star OGLE-TR-111.
OGLE-TR-132b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star OGLE-TR-132.
2MASS J0523−1403 is a very-low-mass red dwarf about 40 light-years from Earth in the southern constellation of Lepus, with a very faint visual magnitude of 21.05 and a low effective temperature of 2074 K. It is visible primarily in large telescopes sensitive to infrared light. 2MASS J0523−1403 was first observed as part of the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS).
OGLE-2007-BLG-349(AB)b is a circumbinary extrasolar planet about 8,000 light-years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. It is the first circumbinary exoplanet to be discovered using the microlensing method of detecting exoplanets.
EBLM J0555-57 is a triple star system approximately 670 light-years from Earth. The system's discovery was released on July 12, 2017. EBLM J0555-57Ab, the smallest star in the system, orbits its primary star with a period of 7.8 days, and currently is the smallest known star with a mass sufficient to enable the fusion of hydrogen in its core.
