Kepler-161 and Its Two Super-Earths

Kepler-161 is a star located 1420 light-years away. It is 4.68 billion years old and has a mass of 0.86 solar masses, a radius of 0.81 solar radii, and a temperature of 5150 K. Its mass and radius are smaller than the Sun's, and its temperature is cooler than the Sun's. Two planets are known to orbit this star.

Both planets were discovered by transit in 2014, and both are classified as Super-Earths. Kepler-161 b has an orbital period of 4.92 days and a radius of 2.12 Earth radii. Kepler-161 c has an orbital period of 7.06 days and a radius of 2.05 Earth radii. Both radii are larger than Earth's. Among the listed planets, Kepler-161 b has the shortest year and the largest radius, while Kepler-161 c has the longest year and the smallest radius.
