Kepler-853 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-853 is a star 1850 light-years away with one known planet, Kepler-853 b. The star is 2.69 billion years old and has a mass of 1.3 solar masses, a radius of 1.55 solar radii, and a temperature of 6350 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
Kepler-853 b was discovered by transit in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. The planet is classified as a Super-Earth, a size class that reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius. Its radius is 1.69 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Kepler-853 b completes an orbit in 7.17 days.
