Kepler-498 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-498 is a star located 3060 light-years away. It has an age of 3.89 billion years, a mass of 0.98 solar masses, a radius of 0.96 solar radii, and a temperature of 5740 K. One planet is known to orbit this host: Kepler-498 b.
Kepler-498 b is a Neptune-like planet discovered through the transit method 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 orbital period is 9.61 days, and its radius is 3.03 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
