Kepler-25 is a star in the northern constellation of Lyra.[1] It is slightly larger and more massive than the Sun, with a luminosity 21⁄2 times that of the Sun.[5] With an apparent visual magnitude of 10.6,[3] this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
Planetary system
In 2011, two candidate planets were found transiting this star by the Kepler space telescope.[10] These planets are very close to yet not lie in the 1:2 orbital resonance to each other, indicating the absence of other planetary objects in the inner part of the planetary systems.[11] These planets were confirmed through transit-timing variation method.[12] A third planet was discovered through follow-up radial velocity measurements and was confirmed in January 2014.[8]
The plane of planetary orbits is well aligned with the equatorial plane of the star, misalignment angle equal to 7±8°[13]
