Kepler-1060 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1060 is a star 3090 light-years away with one planet. The host star is 4.27 billion years old, has 0.99 solar masses, 0.99 solar radii, and a temperature of 5800 K. Solar masses and radii compare stellar mass and radius with the Sun.
The planet is Kepler-1060 b, a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2016. 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. Kepler-1060 b orbits every 46.9 days, and its radius is 2.38 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
