Kepler-941 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-941 is a star 3550 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is 4.07 billion years old, has 0.89 solar masses and 0.86 solar radii, and a temperature of 5540 K. Its mass and radius are smaller than the Sun's, and it is cooler than the Sun.
The planet Kepler-941 b was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passing in front of its star dims the observed brightness. It orbits every 17.4 days and has a radius of 3.08 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. That radius places it in the Neptune-like size class, which reaches up to 4 Earth radii.
