Kepler-32 is anM-typemain sequencestar located about 1053light years from Earth, in theconstellation of Cygnus. Discovered in January 2012 by theKepler spacecraft,[5] it shows a 0.58 ± 0.05solar mass (M☉), a 0.53 ± 0.04solar radius (R☉), and temperature of 3900.0K, making it half the mass and radius of theSun, two-thirds its temperature and 5% its luminosity.[6]
In 2011, 2 planets orbiting around it, were discovered, and two more suspected.[7] The smallerKepler-32b, orbiting its parent star every 5.90124 days, andKepler-32c with an orbital period of 8.7522 days.[8] In April 2013, transit-timing variation analysis confirmed 3 other planets to be in the system. However, only very loose constraints of the maximum mass of the planets could be determined.[9]In 2014, the dynamical simulation shown what the Kepler-32 planetary system have likely undergone a substantial inward migration in the past, producing an observed pattern of lower-mass planets on tightest orbits.[10] Additional yet unobserved gas giant planets on wider orbit are likely necessary for migration of smaller planets to proceed that far inward,[11] although current planetary systems would be unstable if additional planets are located closer than 8.7AU from the parent star.[12]
