KELT-21b is an extrasolar planet discovered in 2017. It is a hot Jupiter with radius of about 1.586 MJ.[1]

Host star[edit]

KELT-21b orbits KELT-21 A (HD 332124). It orbits the primary star in a triple star system, with the other two stars located 1.2 arcseconds away. These two stars, designated KELT-21 B and C, have masses of 0.13 M and 0.11 M, respectively.[1] The primary star is heavy at 1.458±0.029M, extremely hot at 8210±771 K and rapidly rotating (equatorial velocity equal to 141 km/s).[2] In comparison, the Sun has a temperature of 5772 K[3] and rotates at an equatorial velocity of 1.997 km/s.[4] The planetary orbit is well aligned with the equatorial plane of the host star, with misalignment equal to −5.6+1.7
−1.9
°.[5]

Transmission planetary spectroscopy was performed in 2021, based on a single transit observation in 2019. High planetary gravity and relatively low planetary temperature made detection of an atmosphere impossible that time.[6]
