Appearance move to sidebar hide Coordinates: 07h 21m 33.1657s, +58° 16′ 05.005″ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Star in the constellation Lynx Not to be confused with the OLPC XO-4 from the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) initiative or the Martin XO-4.
XO-4 is a star located approximately 863 light-years away from Earth in the Lynx constellation. It has a magnitude of about 11 and cannot be seen with the naked eye but is visible through a small telescope.[3] A search for a binary companion star using adaptive optics at MMT Observatory was negative.[7]
The star XO-4 is named Koit. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Estonia, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Koit is Estonian for dawn, and was named for a character in a folk tale written by Friedrich Robert Faehlmann.[8][9][10]
Planetary system
[edit]
One known exoplanet, XO-4b, which is classified as a hot Jupiter, orbits XO-4. This exoplanet was discovered in 2008 by the XO Project using the transit method.[3] It has been named Hämarik, meaning dusk, and referring to a character from the same Faehlmann story featuring Koit.[11] The planetary orbit is misaligned with the stellar rotation.[12]

Notes
[edit]
^eccentricity approximately equal to zero is expected theoretically and is consistent with the radial velocities and secondary eclipse timing[3][13]
