Kepler-1494 b: A Neptune-Like World in a Distant System
Kepler-1494 is a single star located 4190 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is 4.37 billion years old and has a mass of 0.96 solar masses, a radius of 0.94 solar radii, and a temperature of 5660 K. Its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The only planet orbiting this host is Kepler-1494 b, a Neptune-like planet 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-1494 b has an orbital period of 91.1 days, the time it takes to complete one orbit. Its radius is 3.07 Earth radii, and its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's. That size places it within the Neptune-like class, which reaches 4 times Earth's radius; size classifications describe radius, not composition.
