Kepler-1656 and Its Two Planets
Kepler-1656 is a star 606 light-years away with two known planets. The star is 6.31 billion years old and has a mass of 1.03 solar masses, a radius of 1.1 solar radii, and a temperature of 5730 K.
Kepler-1656 b was discovered in 2018 by the transit method, which detects the small dip in a star's brightness when a planet passes in front of it. This planet has a mass of 47.8 Earth masses and an orbital period of 31.6 days, the shortest among the listed planets. Among the listed planets, it also has the smallest reported mass.
Kepler-1656 c was discovered in 2022 by the radial velocity method, which measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. It has a mass of 126 Earth masses and an orbital period of 1920 days, the longest among the listed planets. Among the listed planets, it has the largest reported mass.
