Kepler-1872 b: A Super-Earth in a Three-Day Orbit

Kepler-1872 is a single-star system 2740 light-years from Earth, and one known planet orbits it. The host star has a reported mass estimate of 0.913 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's, and a reported radius of 0.885 solar radii. Its reported temperature of 5220 K is cooler than the Sun's.

The system's only known planet, Kepler-1872 b, is classified as a Super-Earth, a size class that reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius. Its reported radius estimate is 2.38 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. The planet was discovered by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. That method revealed an orbital period of 3.83 days.
