Kepler-1046 b: A Super-Earth in Transit
Kepler-1046 is a star located 2350 light-years away. One planet has been found orbiting it. The host star is 3.63 billion years old and has a mass of 1.04 solar masses and a radius of 1.04 solar radii. Its temperature of 5910 K is hotter than the Sun's.
The single known planet is Kepler-1046 b, classified as a Super-Earth, a size class reaching up to 2.5 times Earth's radius. It was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-1046 b orbits every 14.4 days and has a radius of 1.71 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
