Kepler-1212 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1212 is a star 4290 light-years away with one known planet. The star is 3.24 billion years old and has a mass of 1.1 solar masses, a radius of 1.15 solar radii, and a temperature of 6050 K, so its reported mass, radius, and temperature estimates are each larger or hotter than the Sun's.
The planet, Kepler-1212 b, is a Super-Earth discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. It orbits every 12.9 days and has a radius of 2.14 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. That size places it within the Super-Earth class, which reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius.
