Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.

See Kepler-38 and Astronomical unit

Binary star

A binary star or binary star system is a system of two stars that are gravitationally bound to and in orbit around each other.

See Kepler-38 and Binary star

Constellation

A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern or outline, typically representing an animal, mythological subject, or inanimate object.

See Kepler-38 and Constellation

Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia

The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia (also known as Encyclopaedia of exoplanetary systems and Catalogue of Exoplanets) is an astronomy website, founded in Paris, France at the Meudon Observatory by Jean Schneider in February 1995, which maintains a database of all the currently known and candidate extrasolar planets, with individual pages for each planet and a full list interactive catalog spreadsheet.

Kepler Input Catalog

The Kepler Input Catalog (or KIC) is a publicly searchable database of roughly 13.2 million targets used for the Kepler Spectral Classification Program (SCP) and Kepler.

See Kepler-38 and Kepler Input Catalog

Kepler object of interest

A Kepler object of interest (KOI) is a star observed by the Kepler space telescope that is suspected of hosting one or more transiting planets. Kepler-38 and Kepler object of interest are Kepler objects of interest.

Kepler-16

Kepler-16 is an eclipsing binary star system in the constellation of Cygnus that was targeted by the Kepler spacecraft. Both stars are smaller than the Sun; the primary, Kepler-16A, is a K-type main-sequence star and the secondary, Kepler-16B, is an M-type red dwarf. They are separated by 0.22 AU, and complete an orbit around a common center of mass every 41 days. Kepler-38 and Kepler-16 are eclipsing binaries, Kepler objects of interest, Planetary systems with one confirmed planet and Planetary transit variables.

See Kepler-38 and Kepler-16

Kepler-34

Kepler-34 is an eclipsing binary star system in the constellation of Cygnus. Kepler-38 and Kepler-34 are eclipsing binaries, g-type main-sequence stars, Kepler objects of interest, Planetary systems with one confirmed planet and Planetary transit variables.

See Kepler-38 and Kepler-34

Kepler-35

Kepler-35 is a binary star system in the constellation of Cygnus. Kepler-38 and Kepler-35 are Circumbinary planets, eclipsing binaries, g-type main-sequence stars, Kepler objects of interest, Planetary systems with one confirmed planet and Planetary transit variables.

See Kepler-38 and Kepler-35

Lyra

paren, from λύρα; pronounced) is a small constellation. It is one of the 48 listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and is one of the modern 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Lyra was often represented on star maps as a vulture or an eagle carrying a lyre, and hence is sometimes referred to as Vultur Cadens or Aquila Cadens ("Falling Vulture" or "Falling Eagle"), respectively.

See Kepler-38 and Lyra

2MASS

The Two Micron All-Sky Survey, or 2MASS, was an astronomical survey of the whole sky in infrared light.
