KELT-2Ab is an
extrasolar planet that orbits the star
KELT-2A approximately 419
light-years away in the
constellation of
Auriga. It was discovered by the KELT-North survey via the
transit method, so both its mass and radius are known quite precisely. As of its discovery KELT-2Ab is the fifth brightest transiting
Hot Jupiter known that has a well constrained mass. This makes the KELT-2A system a promising target for future space- and ground-based follow-up observations to learn about the planet's atmosphere.
