Kepler-986 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-986 is a star 1790 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is estimated to be 6.17 billion years old, with a mass of 0.96 solar masses and a radius of 0.98 solar radii. Its temperature is 5640 K, cooler than the Sun's, and its reported mass estimate is smaller than the Sun's.
The system's planet is Kepler-986 b, a Super-Earth 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. Kepler-986 b has an orbital period of 56.4 days and a radius of 2.36 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Its size classification compares radius with Earth's: a Super-Earth reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius.
