Kepler-1942 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1942 is a star 2750 light-years away with one known planet. The host star has a mass of 0.852 solar masses, a radius of 0.797 solar radii, and a temperature of 5830 K. Its reported mass estimate is smaller than the Sun's.
The planet, Kepler-1942 b, was discovered in 2021 by the transit method, which detects the small dip in a star's brightness when a planet passes in front of it. Kepler-1942 b is classified as a Super-Earth, a size class that extends to 2.5 times Earth's radius. Its radius is 2.12 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. The planet completes an orbit in 4.63 days.
