Virgo (constellation)

WASP-39, also named Malmok, is a G-type main-sequence star about away in the constellation Virgo. With an apparent magnitude of 12.1, it is much too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The star is slightly smaller and cooler than the Sun. It hosts one known exoplanet, WASP-39b.

A1689B11 is an extremely old spiral galaxy located in the Abell 1689 galaxy cluster in the Virgo constellation about 11 billion light years from Earth. The disk of A1689B11 is cool and thin, yet it produced stars at thirty times the rate of the Milky Way. With a lookback time (the difference between the age of the universe now and the age of the universe at the time light left the galaxy) of 11 billion years in the concordance cosmology, A1689B11 is forming 2.6 billion years after the Big Bang. And its present comoving distance is about 19.4 billion light-years from the Earth. It is one of the

HAT-P-26 is a K-type main-sequence star located about away in the constellation of Virgo. A survey in 2015 did not find any stellar companions in orbit around it, although a red dwarf companion with a temperature is suspected on wide orbit.

HAT-P-27, also known as WASP-40, is the primary of a binary star system about 659 light-years away. It is a G-type main-sequence star. The star's age is similar to the Sun's at 4.4 billion years. HAT-P-27 is enriched in heavy elements, having a 195% concentration of iron compared to the Sun.

Type Ia supernova

K2-229 (also designated EPIC 228801451 or TYC 4947-834-1) is a K-type main sequence star approximately 103 parsecs (335 light years) away in the constellation Virgo. It was observed by the Kepler Space Telescope during its K2 "Second Light" mission in Campaign 10.

K2-19 is an early K-type or late G-type main sequence star that is magnetically active, and has a light curve that exhibits variations in brightness of ~1%. It is located approximately 976 light-years away in the constellation Virgo. Three confirmed transiting exoplanets are known to orbit this star.

Qatar-2 is a K-type main-sequence star about 595 light-years away in the constellation of Virgo. The star is much older than Sun, and has a concentration of heavy elements similar to solar abundance. The star features a numerous and long-lived starspots, and belongs to a peculiar variety of inflated K-dwarfs with strong magnetic activity inhibiting internal convection.
