The two dim stellar companions to KOI-5A were discovered in 2016.[2] KOI-5 A and B orbit each other every 29 years, and KOI-5 C orbits stars A and B every 400 years.[4] KOI-5C is physically associated with the core stellar pair with probability 99.98%.[6]
Planetary system
The two planets orbiting one of KOI-5's stars were suspected since 2009 based on Kepler data, but KOI-5Ab was confirmed only in January 2021 after TESS determined the planet is orbiting KOI-5A. The exoplanet has caused interest in the scientific community because its orbital plane is misaligned with the closer star, suggesting it gave KOI-5Ab a gravitational kick during its development, resulting in the misalignment and inward migration to the current orbit.[4]
