Kepler-672 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-672 is a star located 3370 light-years away, and one planet orbits it. The star is 4.07 billion years old, has a mass of 0.95 solar masses, a radius of 0.92 solar radii, and a temperature of 5630 K. Its mass is smaller than the Sun's, and its temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The known planet is Kepler-672 b, a Neptune-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. Kepler-672 b completes an orbit every 38.4 days and has a radius of 2.5 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. That radius falls within the Neptune-like class, which extends to 4 times Earth's radius.
