Kepler-700 b: A Jupiter-like World in a Distant System
Kepler-700 is a single star located 4870 light-years away. It is 4.37 billion years old, has 0.98 solar masses, 0.96 solar radii, and a temperature of 5690 K, which is cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet is Kepler-700 b, a Jupiter-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; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-700 b completes one orbit every 80.9 days and has a radius of 5.99 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. A Jupiter-like planet exceeds 4 times Earth's radius.
