Kepler-1061 b: A Super-Earth in Transit
Kepler-1061 is a single-star system 1770 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is 2.14 billion years old, with a mass of 1.09 solar masses and a radius of 1.07 solar radii. Its temperature is 6070 K.
The planet, Kepler-1061 b, was discovered in 2016 by the transit method. It is classified as a Super-Earth, meaning its radius falls between 1.5 and 2.5 times Earth's. Its measured radius is 1.98 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. It completes one orbit in 2.76 days.
Both the star's mass and radius are larger than the Sun's, and its temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
