XO-5 has a suspected red dwarf companion with a temperature 3500+250
−150 K, on a wide orbit.[8]
The star XO-5 is named Absolutno. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by the Czech Republic, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Absolutno is a fictional miraculous substance in the sci-fi novel Továrna na absolutno (The Factory for the Absolute).[9][10]
Planetary system
editThe exoplanet XO-5b was discovered by the XO Telescope using the transit method in 2008. This planet is classified as a hot jupiter.[3] A search for transit timing variations caused by additional planets was negative.[11]
