Kepler-1579 and Its Sub-Earth Planet
Kepler-1579 is a single known star with one planet in its system. The star is 2.24 billion years old, with a mass of 0.75 solar masses and a radius of 0.7 solar radii. Its temperature is 4580 K, cooler than the Sun's, and both its mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's.
The planet, Kepler-1579 b, was discovered by the transit method in 2016, when it passed in front of its star and caused a small dip in observed brightness. It is classified as a Sub-Earth, meaning its radius is smaller than Earth's. Its radius is 0.84 Earth radii, and its orbital period is 0.85 days.
