XO-2Nb [SEP] constellation
XO-2Nb
XO-2Nb (or rarely XO-2Bb) is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star XO-2N, the fainter component of XO-2 wide binary star in the constellation Lynx. This planet was found by transit method in 2007 by Burke et al. This was the second such planet found by the XO telescope.
Like most planets found by the transit method, it is a roughly Jupiter sized planet that orbits very close to its host star; in this case, it has a surface temperature of about 1200 K, so it belongs to
large proper motions.
XO-2N and XO-2S have a separation of approximately AU.
Planetary systems.
There are two known exoplanets orbiting XO-2N. XO-2Nb (or rarely XO-2Bb), which is classified as a hot Jupiter, was discovered by the XO Telescope using the transit method orbiting XO-2N (XO-2B) in 2007 and XO-2Nc was discovered in 2015 using the radial velocity method.
Two planets were reported to orbit around XO-2S in 2014 using radial velocity method. One of them is Jupiter-mass and another has a mass comparable
