Pr0211 (sometimes written Pr 0211, also 2MASS J08421149+1916373) is a Sun-likelate G or early K-type main-sequence star in the Beehive Cluster, or Praesepe, located 600 light-years away in the constellation Cancer. It is rotationally variable and has a rotation period of 7.97 days,[5] with its spin axis at an inclination of 76°±11° to the plane of the sky.[4] Pr0211 hosts two known exoplanets, and was the first multi-planet system to be discovered in an open cluster.[3][4]
Pr0211 c is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting around Pr0211.[11] Pr0211 c was discovered in 2016 by Luca Malavolta[11][4] and his colleagues while observing its host star with the HARPS-N spectrograph on the 3.6 metres (12 ft; 3.9 yd) Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) in La Palma, and the Tillinghast Reflector Echelle Spectrograph (TRES) mounted at the 1.5 metres (4.9 ft; 1.6 yd) telescope at the University of Georgia in the United States.
