Kepler-56 is a red giant[6] in constellation Cygnus roughly 3,060 light-years (940 pc) away[4] with slightly more mass than the Sun.

Planetary system


In 2012, scientists discovered a 2-planet planetary system around Kepler-56 via the transit method. Asteroseismological studies revealed that the orbits of Kepler-56b and Kepler-56c are coplanar but about 45° misaligned to the host star's equator. In addition, follow-up radial velocity measurements showed evidence of a gravitational perturbator.[6] It was confirmed in 2016 the perturbations are caused by third, non-transiting planet.[7]

The planetary system is very compact but is dynamically stable.[8]

The expanding star will devour Kepler-56b and Kepler-56c in 130 and 155 million years, respectively.[9][10]
