Kepler-80 is a star in the constellation Cygnus with six planets.[5][6][7]

Planetary system

The discovery of five planets orbiting the star was announced in October 2012. The planets orbit very near the parent star; the semi-major axis of the outermost planet is 1/12 the distance from Earth to the Sun. The radial velocity method could not be used to confirm the existence of planets due to the star's faintness. The Kepler-80b and Kepler 80c were initially confirmed through the transit-timing variation method. Two of the three other candidates were validated in February 2014.[3][8][9] The innermost planet was validated in 2016.[10]

Orbital resonance

Kepler-80 d, e, b, c and g have orbits locked in a resonance. While their periods are in a ~ 1.000: 1.512: 2.296: 3.100: 4.767 ratio, in a frame of reference that rotates with the conjunctions this reduces to a ratio of 4:6:9:12:18. Conjunctions of d and e, e and b, b and c, and c and g occur at relative intervals of 2:3:6:6 in a pattern that repeats about every 191 days. Librations of possible three-body resonances have amplitudes of only about 3 degrees, and modeling indicates the resonant system is stable to perturbations. Triple conjunctions do not occur.[6][11]
