Kepler-1172 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-1172 is a star located 4260 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is estimated to be 4.37 billion years old, with a reported mass estimate of 0.92 solar masses and a radius estimate of 0.89 solar radii. Its reported temperature is 5560 K. The star's reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-1172 b was discovered by transit in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-1172 b has an orbital period of 26 days and a radius of 3.2 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's. As a Neptune-like planet, it falls within the size class that reaches up to 4 times Earth's radius.
