Kepler-960 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-960 is a star 929 light-years away with one known planet. The host is 0.77 solar masses, 0.72 solar radii, and a temperature of 4760 K, all smaller or cooler than the corresponding solar values. Its age is given as 3.63 billion years.
The planet, Kepler-960 b, was discovered by transit in 2016, when it was detected passing in front of its star and dimming its light. It completes an orbit every 3.13 days. With a radius of 2.29 Earth radii, it is larger than Earth and falls into the Super-Earth size class, which reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius.
