Planetary system

In 2009 an exoplanet, HAT-P-12b, was discovered by the HATNet Project orbiting this star. The planet was discovered using the transit method and confirmed by follow up radial velocity measurements.[3] Transit-timing variations suggest the possible presence of additional non-transiting planets in the system.[6]
