Star system in the constellation Leo
DP Leonis (abbreviated DP Leo ) is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Leo . It is a variable star that ranges in apparent visual magnitude from 17.5 down to 19.[ 3] The system is located at a distance of approximately 990 light-years from the Sun based on parallax .[ 2] It is 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 .[ 8] This eclipsing variable was discovered by P. Biermann and associates in 1982 as the optical counterpart to the EINSTEIN X-ray source E1114+182.[ 9]
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.[ 6] The object is roughly 6 times more massive than Jupiter and is located 8.6 AU from the binary.
