KIC 3558849 b: A Distant Jupiter-Like World
KIC 3558849 is a star located 3970 light-years from Earth. It has a mass of 0.952 solar masses and a radius of 0.974 solar radii, making it slightly less massive and slightly smaller than the Sun. Its temperature is 6180 K, which is hotter than the Sun's. One planet has been found orbiting this star.
That planet, KIC 3558849 b, was discovered in 2015 using the transit method. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. KIC 3558849 b completes one orbit in 1320 days. With a radius of 6.9 Earth radii, it is larger than Earth and classified as Jupiter-like, a size class for planets exceeding 4 times Earth's radius.
