KOI-81 is an eclipsing binary star in the constellation of Cygnus. The primary star is a late B-type or early A-type main-sequence star with a temperature of 10,000 K (9,700 °C; 17,500 °F). It lies in the field of view of the Kepler Mission and was determined to have an object in orbit around it which is smaller and hotter than the main star.[4]
