Kepler-29 is a Sun-like star in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension, Declination . With an apparent visual magnitude of 15.456, this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. It is a solar analog, having a close mass, radius, and temperature as the Sun. Currently the age of the star has not been determined due to its 2780 light-year (850 parsecs) distance. As of 2016 no Jovian exoplanets of 0.9–1.4 have been found at a distance of 5 AU. [1]
In 2011 an analysis of the first four months of data from the Kepler space telescope detected 1235 planetary candidates two of which orbited this star. Later study of the transit-timing variations of the system lead to the confirmation of both planets. The planetary orbits are lying in Orbital resonance to each other, with orbital period ratio being exactly 7:9.
