Planets Around EPIC 206042996
EPIC 206042996 is a star 1470 light-years away with two known planets. The host star has a mass of 0.63 solar masses and a radius of 0.674 solar radii, both smaller than the Sun's. Its temperature is 4060 K, cooler than the Sun's.
The planets were both found by the transit method, which detects the small dip in a star's brightness when a planet crosses in front of it. EPIC 206042996 b was discovered in 2019. It is classified as a Super-Earth, with a radius of 1.7 Earth radii - larger than Earth's and the largest among the listed planets. Its orbital period is 5.3 days, the longest year among the listed planets. EPIC 206042996 c was discovered in 2021. It is classified as Earth-like, with a radius of 1.2 Earth radii - larger than Earth's but the smallest among the listed planets. Its orbital period is 0.355 days, the shortest year among the listed planets.
