K2-19 is an early K-type[4] or late G-type main sequence star[5] that is magnetically active, and has a light curve that exhibits variations in brightness of ~1%.[5] It is located approximately 976 light-years away in the constellation Virgo. Three confirmed transiting exoplanets are known to orbit this star.

Discovery

[edit]

The two outer planets were reported as planet candidates during analysis of data from Campaign 1 of the Kepler space telescope's K2 extended mission.[11] Both planets were confirmed by David J. Armstrong and collaborators, who used ground-based telescopes to detect additional transits and measure hour-long transit-timing variations for K2-19b.[7] They were independently validated along with 20 other planets by Benjamin T. Montet and team.[12]

K2-19d was first reported as a planet candidate during a search for candidates from the first year of the K2 Mission[13] and was later validated by Sinukoff et al.[5]

Characteristics

[edit]

K2-19 has a planetary system with three known planets, of which the two larger ones, K2-19b and K2-19c, are either close to the 3:2 mean motion resonance or inside it.[14][15] All three planets orbit closer to their star than the planet Mercury does to the Sun.[4][16]
