Kepler-1462 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-1462 is a star located 3320 light-years away. It is 4.07 billion years old, has 1 solar masses, and has a radius of 1 solar radii with a temperature of 5760 K. One planet orbits this host.
That planet is Kepler-1462 b, a Neptune-like world 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-1462 b completes an orbit every 65.6 days and has a radius of 3.82 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
