Kepler-637 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
Kepler-637 is a star located 2560 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is estimated to be 2.19 billion years old, with a mass of 1.64 solar masses, a radius of 2.56 solar radii, and a temperature of 6100 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-637 b was discovered by transit 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-637 b is classified as Jupiter-like, meaning its radius exceeds 4 times Earth's radius. Its radius is 4.75 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and it completes an orbit every 23.2 days.
