ADS 16402 is the name of a binary star system in the constellation Lizard . The stars of the system, ADS 16402 A and ADS 16402 B , both belong to the spectral class G0 and are about 450 light-years away from Earth. Component A has an apparent brightness of 10.0 mag, component B of 10.4 mag. The angular spacing of the stars is 11 ", 2, which corresponds to a distance of about 1600 AU. The age of both suns is estimated at 3.6 billion years. ADS 16402 B is orbited by an exoplanet and is also known as HAT-P in this context -1 known.

Planet HAT-P-1 b

Around ADS 16402 B (HAT-P-1), an exoplanet known as HAT-P-1b and belonging to the class of Hot Jupiters was discovered . It was discovered using a network of small wide-angle telescopes based on the Hungarian Automated Telescope (HAT) using the transit method. The distance between the exoplanet and the star AD 16402 B is only 5% of the distance between the earth and the sun. HAT-P-1b only needs about four and a half days to orbit its central star.
