Kepler-537 b: A Nearby Star and Its Earth-Like Planet
Kepler-537 is a star located 1430 light-years from Earth. It has a mass of 1.07 solar masses, a radius of 0.99 solar radii, a temperature of 5760 K, and an age of 1.45 billion years. Its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's.
One planet orbits this star. Kepler-537 b was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Repeated dips help establish orbital periods.
Kepler-537 b is classified as Earth-like, meaning its radius stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius. Its radius is 1.41 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and it completes an orbit every 3.25 days.
