Kepler-532 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-532 is a star located 1020 light-years away. It has a mass of 0.87 solar masses, a radius of 0.79 solar radii, and a temperature of 5190 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's. The star is 2 billion years old and hosts one planet.
That planet is Kepler-532 b, a Neptune-like world 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. Kepler-532 b orbits its star every 12.9 days and has a radius of 2.57 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's. Its radius places it within the Neptune-like size class, which extends to 4 times Earth's radius.
