Kepler-609 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-609 is a star 3480 light-years away with one known planet in orbit around it. The star is 3.72 billion years old and has a mass of 1.09 solar masses, a radius of 1.14 solar radii, and a temperature of 5970 K. Its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The planet, Kepler-609 b, is a Neptune-like world 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. Its reported radius estimate is 3.35 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and it completes an orbit every 6.52 days.
