XO-4 is a star located approximately 863 light-years away from Earth in the Lynx constellation. It has a magnitude of about 11 and cannot be seen with the naked eye but is visible through a small telescope. A search for a binary companion star using adaptive optics at MMT Observatory was negative.
The star XO-4 is named Koit. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Estonia, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Koit is Estonian for dawn, and was named for a character in a folk tale written by Friedrich Robert Faehlmann.{{Cite web|url=http://www.nameexoworlds.iau.org/final-results|title=Approved names|website=NameExoworlds|language=en|access-date=2020-01-02}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.iau.org/news/pressreleases/detail/iau1912/|title=International Astronomical Union {{!}} IAU|website=www.iau.org|access-date=2020-01-02}}{{Cite web|url=https://estonianworld.com/knowledge/estonia-has-been-assigned-its-own-star-and-planet|title=Estonia has been assigned its own star and planet|website=Estonian World|date=20 January 2020|language=en|access-date=2020-01-20}}
Planetary system
One known exoplanet, XO-4b, which is classified as a hot Jupiter, orbits XO-4. This exoplanet was discovered in 2008 by the XO Project using the transit method. It has been named Hämarik, meaning dusk, and referring to a character from the same Faehlmann story featuring Koit.{{Cite web|url=https://estonianworld.com/knowledge/estonia-has-been-assigned-its-own-star-and-planet|title=Estonia has been assigned its own star and planet|website=Estonian World|date=20 January 2020|language=en|access-date=2020-01-20}} The planetary orbit is misaligned with the stellar rotation.
