ADS 16402 (extrasolar planet star / HAT-P-1)

ADS 16402 (Lacerta)
ADS 16402 (also BD+37 4734) is a visual double star system that also 
bears the name HJ1832, as it was discovered by John Herschel in 1831
One of the stars (ADS 16402 B), has recently been determined to have a 
large-radius, transiting exoplanet , HAT-P-1 
(Science Paper, G. A. Bakos et al, 2006)
