data |
DP Leonis (abbreviated DP Leo) is an eclipsing binary system approximately 1304 light-years away from the Sun,[4] probably a cataclysmic variable star of the AM Herculis-type also known as polars. The system comprises an eclipsing white dwarf and red dwarf in tight orbit (nearly 1.5 hours) and an extrasolar planet.[3]
Planetary system
In 2010, Qian et al. announced the detection of a third body of planetary mass around the eclipsing binary system. The presence of a third body had already been suspected in 2002.[4] The object is roughly 6 times more massive than Jupiter and is located 8.6 AU from the binary.
