Kepler-5 and Its Giant Planet
Kepler-5 is a star 2930 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is 3 billion years old and has a mass of 1.37 solar masses, a radius of 1.79 solar radii, and a temperature of 6300 K. Its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's, its reported radius estimate is larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-5 b was discovered by transit in 2009 and is classified as Jupiter-like. It has a mass of 671 Earth masses, a radius of 16 Earth radii, and an orbital period of 3.55 days. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's, and its reported mass estimate is larger than Earth's and roughly 2.11 times Jupiter's mass. Its mean density is 0.905 g/cm³, 0.164 times Earth's.
