Kepler-949 and Its Two Neptune-Like Planets
Kepler-949 is a star located 1590 light-years away. Its reported mass of 0.89 solar masses and radius of 0.86 solar radii are both smaller than the Sun's, and its temperature of 5400 K is cooler than the Sun's reported temperature. The star is also estimated to be 4.57 billion years old. Two planets are known to orbit this host: Kepler-949 b and Kepler-949 c.
Both planets are Neptune-like and were found by the transit method, which detects the small dip in a star's brightness when a planet passes in front of it. Kepler-949 b was discovered in 2016, and Kepler-949 c in 2023.
Kepler-949 b has an orbital period of 8.69 days, the shortest year among the listed planets, and a radius of 2.91 Earth radii, the smallest radius among the listed planets. Its radius is larger than Earth's. Kepler-949 c has an orbital period of 21 days, the longest year among the listed planets, and a radius of 2.97 Earth radii, the largest among the listed planets; its radius is likewise larger than Earth's.
