Architecture of the system
This list shows all planetary and stellar components in the system. It gives a quick overview of the hierarchical architecture. Kepler-32 is not binary system, so the architecture is rather simple.
Kepler-32, stellar object
Kepler-32 b, planet, semi-major axis: 0.013 AU- Kepler-32 c, planet, semi-major axis: 0.033 AU

| Description and Trivia | This planet candidate was discovered with the Kepler spacecraft. Because there are multiple phenomena that can create a signal that looks similar to a planetary transit, the candidates have to be confirmed with another method. For Kepler-32 the planetary nature of the companions has been confirmed by transit timing variations, caused by other planets in the system, and a stability analysis. However, the mass of the planets is not well constrained yet. There are at least three other unconfirmed planets in the system. |

Planet sizes
The following plot shows the approximate sizes of the planets in this system The Solar System planets are shown as a comparison. Note that unless the radius has been determined through a transit observation, this is only an approximation (see Lissauer et al. 2011b).
Habitable zone
The following plot shows the approximate location of the planets in this system with respect to the habitable zone (green) and the size of the star (red). This is only an estimate, using the star's spectral type and mass. Note that if no green band is shown in the plot, then the planet's orbit is far outside the habitable zone. The equations of Selsis, Kasting et al are used to draw the inner and outer boundaries.

Data download
Click here to download the XML file for this system. It is part of the Open Exoplanet Catalogue. All information on this page has been directly generated from this XML file. As an alternative to the single XML file, you can also download the entire catalogue on github at https://github.com/hannorein/open_exoplanet_catalogue/. You can also find ASCII tables of the same catalogue at https://github.com/hannorein/oec_tables/. Some information, especially in the case of a binary system cannot be easily represented in an ASCII table. You are therefore encouraged to use the original XML files provided by the Open Exoplanet Catalogue.
