Kepler-1537 and Its Sole Known Planet
Kepler-1537 is a star located 1690 light-years away. It has a mass of 0.81 solar masses and a radius of 0.77 solar radii, both smaller than the Sun's corresponding values. Its temperature of 5080 K is cooler than the Sun's, and its age is 5.01 billion years. One planet is known to orbit this star.
That planet is Kepler-1537 b, discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passing in front of its star from our viewpoint causes a small dip in observed brightness; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1537 b completes an orbit every 1.44 days. Its radius of 1.18 Earth radii is larger than Earth's, and its Earth-like classification reflects a radius within 1.5 times Earth's.
