KIC 5479689 b: A Close-Orbiting Planet Around a Cool Dwarf
KIC 5479689 is a star located 1480 light-years away. It has 0.92 solar masses, 0.926 solar radii, and a temperature of 5340 K. The star's reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its temperature is cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet is KIC 5479689 b, discovered in 2021 by orbital brightness modulation. It completes an orbit in 1.7 days and has a minimum mass of 159 Earth masses, a lower bound on its true mass that is larger than Earth's.
