Kepler-478 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-478 is a star with one known planet, Kepler-478 b. The host star's reported mass estimate is 0.85 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's, and its reported radius estimate is 0.8 solar radii, also smaller than the Sun's. Its reported temperature is 5210 K, cooler than the Sun's, and its age is 4.9 billion years.
Kepler-478 b is a Neptune-like planet discovered by transit in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. The planet's radius is 2.71 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and its orbital period is 13.2 days.
