Kepler-812 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-812 is a star located 4840 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is 1.66 billion years old, with a mass of 1.45 solar masses, a radius of 1.71 solar radii, and a temperature of 6760 K. Its mass and radius estimates are both larger than the Sun's, and its temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The planet, Kepler-812 b, is classified as Neptune-like and was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passing in front of its star from our viewpoint causes a small dip in observed brightness. Repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-812 b orbits its star every 10.1 days and has a radius of 3.55 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
