Planets Around EPIC 212587672
EPIC 212587672 is a star 1040 light-years away with two known planets, both found by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. The star has 0.99 solar masses, 0.98 solar radii, and a temperature of 6000 K, which is hotter than the Sun's.
The two planets are EPIC 212587672 b, classified as Earth-like, and EPIC 212587672 c, a Super-Earth. An Earth-like planet stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius, while a Super-Earth reaches 2.5 times. EPIC 212587672 b was discovered in 2019 and has a radius of 1.26 Earth radii and an orbital period of 15.3 days. EPIC 212587672 c was discovered in 2021 and has a radius of 2.32 Earth radii and an orbital period of 23.2 days.
Both planets' reported radius estimates are larger than Earth's. Among the listed planets, EPIC 212587672 b has the shortest year by reported estimates, at 15.3 days, and the smallest radius, at 1.26 Earth radii. EPIC 212587672 c has the longest year, at 23.2 days, and the largest radius, at 2.32 Earth radii.
