Kepler-1401 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1401 is a star 4650 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is 3.55 billion years old and has a mass of 1.07 solar masses and a radius of 1.1 solar radii. Its temperature of 5960 K is hotter than the Sun's, and its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's.
The sole planet, Kepler-1401 b, is 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-1401 b orbits every 11.2 days and has a radius of 1.68 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
