Properties

This star is a relatively young star with an age of only 5.47 billion years. At this age, it is still on the main sequence. Qatar-5 has 112.8% the mass of the Sun, and 107.6% the latter's radius. Despite all of this, it has 113% of the Sun's luminosity, which corresponds to an effective temperature of 5,746  K . Qatar-5 rotates at a rate of 10.4 km/s.

Planetary system

In 2016, the Qatar Exoplanet Survey discovered a planet around this star.

    Qatar-5b

    Qatar-5b is a Hot Jupiter orbiting the star Qatar-5 located in Andromeda constellation. [5] It orbits its star every 2.87 days. It was discovered in 2016 by the Qatar Exoplanet Survey (QES). [6] [4]

    Discovery

    This planet was discovered by QES along with Qatar-3b and Qatar-4b. The light curves of the planet's respective host stars have been observed as well during the survey, along with their stellar properties [7]

    Properties

    Orbit

    This planet is another typical hot Jupiter. It orbits very close to its star with a period of 2 days, 21 hours, 6 minutes, and 5.6 seconds. [8] This corresponds with an orbital distance of 0.04127 AU, which is about 10 times closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun. With an eccentricity of 0, this suggests that Qatar-5b is on a perfectly circular orbit.

    Physical properties

    Qatar-5b is a massive planet, with 4.32 times the mass of Jupiter, but a similar radius. With a density of 3.95 g cm−3, this is one of the densest planets discovered. With an effective temperature of 1,415 K, it is a scorching planet.

    Kepler-5 is a star located in the constellation Cygnus in the field of view of the Kepler Mission, a NASA project aimed at detecting planets in transit of, or passing in front of, their host stars as seen from Earth. One closely-orbiting, Jupiter-like planet, named Kepler-5b, has been detected around Kepler-5. Kepler-5's planet was one of the first five planets to be discovered by the Kepler spacecraft; its discovery was announced on January 4, 2010 at the 215th meeting of the American Astronomical Society after being verified by a variety of observatories. Kepler-5 is larger and more massive than the Sun, but has a similar metallicity, a major factor in planet formation.
