Kepler-1162 and Its Two Super-Earths
Kepler-1162 is a star 3070 light-years away with two planets orbiting it. The host is 4.37 billion years old, with a mass of 0.89 solar masses, a radius of 0.84 solar radii, and a temperature of 5390 K. Its mass and radius are smaller than the Sun's, and its temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
Both planets were found by transit, the dimming of a star's brightness when a planet crosses in front of it. Kepler-1162 b, discovered in 2016, is a Super-Earth with a radius of 2.21 Earth radii and an orbital period of 32.6 days. Kepler-1162 c, discovered in 2023, is also a Super-Earth, with a radius of 1.81 Earth radii and an orbital period of 59.3 days. Both planets have radii larger than Earth's. Among the listed planets, Kepler-1162 b has the shortest year and the largest radius, while Kepler-1162 c has the longest year and the smallest radius.
