Kepler-768 b: A Super-Earth in Transit
Kepler-768 is a star located 2560 light-years away, with one known planet in orbit around it. The star is 4.57 billion years old and has a mass of 0.82 solar masses and a radius of 0.78 solar radii. Its temperature is 5110 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The one known planet, Kepler-768 b, is classified as a Super-Earth. It was discovered by the transit method in 2016: it was detected as it passed in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Its orbital period is 11.4 days, and its radius is 1.79 Earth radii. That reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
