Kepler-958: A Distant Star With a Super-Earth
Kepler-958 is a star located 1470 light-years away. It has an age of 4.37 billion years, a mass of 0.91 solar masses, a radius of 0.86 solar radii, and a temperature of 5420 K. Its reported mass estimate is smaller than the Sun's, its reported radius estimate is smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
One planet is known to orbit Kepler-958. Kepler-958 b was discovered by transit in 2016, and repeated dips in the star's observed brightness helped establish its orbital period of 9.77 days. The planet is classified as a Super-Earth, meaning its radius is larger than Earth's but does not reach the size of a Neptune-like planet. Its reported radius estimate is 2.06 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's.
