Kepler-33 is a star about 4,000light-years (1,200parsecs) in the constellation ofCygnus, with a system of five known planets. Having just begun to evolve off from themain sequence,[4] its radius and mass are difficult to ascertain, although data available in 2020 shows its best-fit mass of 1.3M☉ and radius of 1.6R☉ are compatible with a model of asubgiant star.[5]
The first detections of the candidate four-body planetary system were reported in February 2011.[6] On January 26, 2012, the planetary system around the star was confirmed, including a fifth planet.[4] However, unlike some other planets confirmed via Kepler, their masses were initially not known, asDoppler spectroscopy measurements were not done before the announcement. Judging by their radii, b may be a largesuper-Earth or smallhot Neptune while the other four are all likely to be the latter. As of 2022[update], the masses of planets e & f have been measured, with upper limits on the masses of planets c & d. These mass measurements confirm Kepler-33 d, e & f to be low-density, gaseous planets.[2]
Planets b and c may actually be in a 7:3 resonance, as there is a 0.05 day discrepancy; there is also a small 0.18 day discrepancy between a 5:3 resonance between planets c and d. The other planets do not seem to be in any resonances, though near resonances are 3d:2e and 4e:3f.
The planetary system in its current configuration is highly susceptible to perturbations, therefore assuming stability, no additional giant planets can be located within 30AU from the parent star.[7]
