Kepler-516 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
Kepler-516 is a star located 2240 light-years away, with a mass of 1.62 solar masses, a radius of 2.02 solar radii, a temperature of 7100 K, and an age of 1.32 billion years. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's. One known planet orbits this host.
That planet, Kepler-516 b, is a Jupiter-like world discovered in 2016 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. Kepler-516 b completes an orbit every 24.9 days and has a radius of 5.74 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's.
