Kepler-618 and Its Neptune-Like World
Kepler-618 is a star located 3990 light-years away. It has an age of 4.27 billion years, a mass of 1.05 solar masses, a radius of 1.08 solar radii, and a temperature of 5860 K, which is hotter than the Sun's. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet, Kepler-618 b, is a Neptune-like world discovered by the transit method in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-618 b completes an orbit every 3.6 days, and its radius of 2.6 Earth radii is larger than Earth's.
