HAT-P-17 is a K-type main-sequence star about 90 ± 3 parsecs (293.5 ± 9.8 ly) away. It has a mass of about 0.857 ± 0.039 M☉. It is the host of two planets, HAT-P-17b and HAT-P-17c, both discovered in 2012. A search for a binary companion star using adaptive optics at the MMT Observatory was negative.
Planetary system
In 2012 a multi-planet system consisting of a transiting hot Saturn in an eccentric orbit and a Jupiter like planet in an outer orbit. The transiting planet HAT-P-17b was detected by the HATNet Project using telescopes located in Hawaii, Arizona and at Wise Observatory in Israel. It was confirmed with radial velocity measurements taken at the Keck telescope which also led to the discovery of the second planet on a much wider orbit.
