K2-293 b: A Super-Earth in Transit
K2-293 is a star located 1280 light-years away. Its mass is 0.958 solar masses, its radius is 0.947 solar radii, and its temperature is 5530 K, making its reported mass smaller and its reported temperature cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet, K2-293 b, is a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2019. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. K2-293 b completes an orbit every 13.1 days. Its radius is 2.45 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
