Kepler-1279 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1279 is a star 4870 light-years away with one known planet in orbit. The host star is 2.82 billion years old, with a mass of 1.21 solar masses and a radius of 1.33 solar radii, and its temperature is 6220 K. Its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's, its reported radius estimate is larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The planet is Kepler-1279 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-1279 b completes an orbit every 23.5 days and has a radius of 1.75 Earth radii, a reported radius estimate larger than Earth's.
