Kepler-1859 and Its Two Super-Earths
Kepler-1859 is a star 4340 light-years away with a reported mass of 1.05 solar masses and a radius of 1.16 solar radii, both larger than the Sun's. Its temperature is 5850 K. Two planets are known to orbit it.
Kepler-1859 b and Kepler-1859 c are both Super-Earths, a size class that reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius. Each was found by the transit method, which detects the small dip in a star's brightness when a planet passes in front of it; repeated dips help establish orbital periods.
Kepler-1859 b was discovered in 2021 and has an orbital period of 2.73 days, the shortest year among the listed planets. Its radius is 1.58 Earth radii, the smallest among the listed planets, and larger than Earth's. Kepler-1859 c was discovered in 2023 and has an orbital period of 3.6 days, the longest among the listed planets. Its radius is 1.66 Earth radii, the largest among the listed planets, and also larger than Earth's.
