Kepler-437 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-437 is a star with one known planet, Kepler-437 b. The host star's reported mass estimate is smaller than the Sun's, at 0.707 solar masses, and its reported radius estimate is also smaller than the Sun's, at 0.68 solar radii. Its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's, at 4550 K, and its age is 2.9 billion years.
Kepler-437 b is a Super-Earth, meaning its radius falls within the size class that reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius. The planet's reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's, at 2.14 Earth radii. It was discovered by transit in 2015, and repeated dips in the star's brightness helped establish its orbital period of 66.7 days.
