Kepler-1078: A Distant Star With a Super-Earth
Kepler-1078 is a star located 8090 light-years from Earth. It is 4.37 billion years old and has 0.94 solar masses, 0.92 solar radii, and a temperature of 5610 K. Its reported mass estimate is smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
One planet is known to orbit Kepler-1078. Kepler-1078 b is a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2016, meaning it was detected as it passed in front of its star and caused a small dip in observed brightness. It completes an orbit every 3.01 days and has a radius of 1.9 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Its Super-Earth classification places it within the size range that reaches up to 2.5 times Earth's radius.
