Kepler-943 and Its Solitary Planet
Kepler-943 is a star located 7500 light-years away. It has 1.03 solar masses, 1.27 solar radii, and a temperature of 5620 K, and it is 8.7 billion years old. Its radius is larger than the Sun's, and its temperature is cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet is Kepler-943 b, a Jupiter-like world 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. It completes an orbit every 49.8 days and has a radius of 5.93 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
