Kepler-1079 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1079 is a star located 1930 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is estimated to be 6.61 billion years old, with a mass of 1.08 solar masses and a radius of 1.36 solar radii. Its temperature is 5760 K. The reported mass and radius estimates are both larger than the Sun's.
The sole planet, Kepler-1079 b, was 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. Kepler-1079 b is classified as a Super-Earth, a size class that reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius, and its reported radius estimate of 1.63 Earth radii is larger than Earth's. It completes an orbit every 13.2 days.
