Kepler-1937 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-1937 is a star 2950 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is 2.45 billion years old, has a mass of 1.09 solar masses, a radius of 1.1 solar radii, and a temperature of 5970 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-1937 b was discovered by transit in 2021. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1937 b completes an orbit every 9.69 days and has a radius of 3.02 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's. As a Neptune-like planet, it falls within the size class that reaches 4 times Earth's radius.
