KELT-21 b
KELT-21 b
KELT-21 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star KELT-21, located about 1353.5 light-years (415.0 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2017.
The host star KELT-21 has apparent magnitude of 10.5, with absolute magnitude of 2.4. It is 1.5 times more massive and 1.6 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 7598 with its spectral types of A8V
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet KELT-21 b orbits around the star KELT-21 every 3.6 days with its orbital distance of 0.05 AU ( 7814992.8 km)
