Kepler-879: A Sun-Like Star and Its Two Known Planets
Kepler-879 is a G-type star located 2620 light-years away. The star is 4.27 billion years old, holds 1.02 solar masses, spans 1.02 solar radii, and has a temperature of 5790 K. Two planets are known to orbit this host.
Kepler-879 b is a Neptune-like planet discovered by transit in 2016. It completes one orbit every 33.4 days, and its radius of 2.57 Earth radii exceeds Earth's.
Kepler-879 c is a Sub-Earth discovered by transit in 2024. It orbits in just 0.647 days, the shortest period among the listed planets, and its radius of 0.4 Earth radii is smaller than Earth's. Kepler-879 b, by contrast, has the longest period and the largest radius among the listed planets.
