Kepler-992 b: A Super-Earth in a Single-Planet System
Kepler-992 is a star located 847 light-years away. It is 3.02 billion years old and has 0.8 solar masses, 0.74 solar radii, and a temperature of 4940 K. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet is Kepler-992 b, a Super-Earth discovered by the transit method 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-992 b completes one orbit every 20.2 days and has a radius of 1.62 Earth radii. The star's reported mass estimate is smaller than the Sun's, and its reported radius estimate is also smaller than the Sun's.
