Kepler-1238 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1238 is a star 5320 light-years away with one known planet in orbit. The host star is 2.14 billion years old and has a mass of 1.3 solar masses, a radius of 1.48 solar radii, and a temperature of 6390 K. Its mass and radius are larger than the Sun's, and its temperature is hotter.
The only planet known around Kepler-1238 is Kepler-1238 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. Kepler-1238 b orbits every 4.15 days and has a radius of 1.93 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
