Kepler-88 is a star in the constellation Lyra . The star is similar to the sun with a slightly lower mass and radius and accordingly also a lower luminosity . Two exoplanets were discovered near this star in 2013 with the help of the Kepler space telescope. It is the first system in which a planet was discovered using Transit Timing Variation (TTV) .

Planetary system

Kepler-88 b orbits the central star in about 11 days. The planet Kepler-88 c was discovered for the first time from interference in its signal using the method of transit timing variation . This planet orbits the star within 22 days and was later confirmed using the radial velocity method . In 2019, based on measurements of the radial velocity over a period of 6 years, the discovery of Kepler-88 d , another exoplanet in the system, was announced. The additional planet is significantly further away with an orbital period of about 1400 days and is said to have about 3 times the mass of Jupiter .
