Kepler-980 and Its Solitary Known Planet
Kepler-980 is a star located 3140 light-years away. It hosts one known planet. The star is 3.55 billion years old, has a mass of 1.05 solar masses and a radius of 1.06 solar radii, and its temperature is 5940 K. Its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The only known planet in the system is Kepler-980 b. This Neptune-like world was found by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-980 b was discovered in 2016. Its orbital period is 11.6 days, and its radius is 2.67 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's, placing it within the Neptune-like size class, which extends to 4 times Earth's radius.
