K2-379 b: A Super-Earth in a Close Orbit
K2-379 is a star located 594 light-years away. It has 0.856 solar masses, 0.751 solar radii, and a temperature of 4600 K. Its reported radius estimate is smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet is K2-379 b, a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2022. 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. K2-379 b completes an orbit every 8.78 days. Its radius is 2.18 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's.
