            Description Kepler-47(AB) is a multiplanetary system orbiting a binary star. This is the first system of its kind. One of the binary stars is a Sun-like star, the other one is roughly one-third the size of the Sun. The orbital period of the binary is 7.45 days. Kepler-47(AB) is a multiplanetary system orbiting a binary star. This is the first system of its kind. One of the binary stars is a Sun-like star, the other one is roughly one-third the size of the Sun. The orbital period of the binary is 7.45 days. The outer planet Kepler-47(AB) c is located in the habitable zone where liquid water could exist. This planet was discovered by Orosz et al. 2019. The discovery was made with a space based telescope (0.95 m Kepler Telescope). The parameters listed here are those reported by Orosz et al. 2019 and were imported into the Open Exoplanet Catalogue from the NASA Exoplanet Archive.
