KOI-5 is a triple star system composed of three stars: KOI-5 A, KOI-5 B and KOI-5 C, orbiting 1,870±70 light-years away.
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]
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][7] However, the confirmation of this planet has yet to be published in any peer-reviewed journal.
A second candidate planet was initially suspected, but was later found to be a false positive.[8]
