Kepler-294 and Its Two Known Planets
Kepler-294 is a star located 4430 light-years away, and it hosts two known planets. The star is 5.01 billion years old and has a mass of 0.95 solar masses, a radius of 0.93 solar radii, and a temperature of 5560 K. Its reported mass estimate is smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The two planets are Kepler-294 b and Kepler-294 c. Both were discovered in 2014 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. Kepler-294 b is a Super-Earth with a radius of 1.77 Earth radii and an orbital period of 3.7 days. Kepler-294 c is a Neptune-like planet with a radius of 2.71 Earth radii and an orbital period of 6.63 days. Among the listed planets, Kepler-294 b has the shortest year and the smallest radius by reported estimates, while Kepler-294 c has the longest year and the largest radius. Kepler-294 c's reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
