Kepler-1597 and Its Lone Known Planet
Kepler-1597 is a star 3980 light-years away, and it is known to host one planet. The star is 2.4 billion years old and has a mass estimate of 1.25 solar masses, a radius estimate of 1.39 solar radii, and a temperature of 6380 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The planet, Kepler-1597 b, was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, which detects the small dip in a star's observed brightness when a planet passes in front of it from our viewpoint; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1597 b is classified as Earth-like, meaning its radius stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius. It has a radius of 1.06 Earth radii and an orbital period of 2.95 days.
