Planetary system
editThe planetary system of Kepler-27 comprising two small gas giants on eccentric orbits[5] was discovered in late 2011.[6] The planets Kepler-27b and Kepler-27c have equilibrium temperatures of 610 K and 481 K, respectively.[7] In 2021, a third, sub-Neptune-sized planet was confirmed, orbiting closer in than the other two planets.[8][9]
