Kepler-797 b: A Super-Earth in a Distant System
Kepler-797 is a star located 4290 light-years away, with an age of 3.89 billion years, a mass of 0.96 solar masses, a radius of 0.95 solar radii, and a temperature of 5680 K. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet is Kepler-797 b, a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2016. It has an orbital period of 27.1 days and a radius of 2.17 Earth radii, a reported radius estimate larger than Earth's. A Super-Earth reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius in the size classification used here.
