Kepler-1606 b: A Super-Earth in a Distant System
Kepler-1606 is a star located 2710 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star has a mass of 0.921 solar masses, a radius of 0.915 solar radii, a temperature of 5460 K, and an age of 9.4 billion years. Its reported mass estimate is smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet in this system is Kepler-1606 b, a Super-Earth discovered by the transit method in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness, and repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1606 b has an orbital period of 196 days and a radius of 2.07 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. As a Super-Earth, its size class places it within 2.5 times Earth's radius.
