Kepler-527: A Distant Star With a Neptune-Like World
Kepler-527 is a star located 2450 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is estimated to be 2.4 billion years old, with a mass of 1.28 solar masses and a radius of 1.45 solar radii. Its temperature is 6390 K, and its reported mass, radius, and temperature are all larger or hotter than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-527 b was discovered by the transit method in 2016, when it passed in front of its star from our viewpoint and caused a small dip in observed brightness. It completes one orbit every 13.3 days. With a radius of 2.84 Earth radii, Kepler-527 b is classified as Neptune-like, and its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
