HAT-P-17 is aK-type main-sequence star about 92.4 parsecs (301 ly) away. It has a mass of about 0.857 ± 0.039 M☉. It is the host of two planets, HAT-P-17b and HAT-P-17c, both discovered in 2010.[4][8] A search for a binary companion star usingadaptive optics at theMMT Observatory was negative.[9] A candidate companion was detected by a spectroscopic search of high-resolution K band infrared spectra taken at theKeck observatory.[10]
In 2010 a multi-planet system consisting of atransiting hot Saturn in an eccentric orbit and a Jupiter like planet in an outer orbit was detected. The transiting planet HAT-P-17b was detected by theHATNet Project using telescopes located in Hawaii, Arizona and atWise Observatory in Israel. It was confirmed withradial velocity measurements taken at theKeck telescope which also led to the discovery of the second planet on a much wider orbit.[4]
In 2013radial velocity measurements of theRossiter-McLaughlin effect showed that the sky-projected angle between the stellar spin axis and the orbit of planet b was approximately 19°.[6] The measurement in 2022 have resulted in slightly larger misalignment of 26.3±6.7°[11]
