XO-5 is a yellow dwarf main sequence star located approximately 850 light-years away from Earth in the Lynx constellation. It has a magnitude of about 12 and cannot be seen with the naked eye but is visible through a small telescope.[3][5]
Planetary system
The exoplanet XO-5b was discovered by the XO Telescope using the transit method in 2008. This planet is classified as a hot jupiter.[3] A search for transit timing variations caused by additional planets was negative.[7]
