K2-230 and Its Super-Earth
K2-230 is a star 1760 light-years away with one known planet, K2-230 b. The host star has a mass of 1.11 solar masses, a radius of 1.39 solar radii, and a temperature of 5950 K. Its reported mass, radius, and temperature estimates are all larger or hotter than the Sun's.
K2-230 b is a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2018. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. The planet's radius is 1.96 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and its orbital period is 2.86 days.
