Kepler-643 and Its Planet
Kepler-643 is a star 3470 light-years away, and one planet has been found around it. The host star is 12 billion years old and has a mass of 1 solar masses and a radius of 2.52 solar radii. Its temperature is 4910 K, and its reported radius estimate is larger than the Sun's while its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-643 b was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, which detects a planet when it passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Repeated dips help establish orbital periods, and Kepler-643 b completes an orbit every 16.3 days. It is classified as Jupiter-like, meaning it exceeds 4 times Earth's radius, and its reported radius estimate is 10.2 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
