Kepler-1936 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-1936 is a star 2840 light-years from Earth with a mass of 1.28 solar masses, a radius of 1.38 solar radii, and a temperature of 6400 K. Its mass, radius, and temperature are all reported as larger or hotter than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
Kepler-1936 b is a Neptune-like planet discovered by transit in 2021, meaning it was detected as it passed in front of its star and caused a small dip in observed brightness. It completes an orbit every 127 days. Its radius is 3.17 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. A Neptune-like planet reaches up to 4 times Earth's radius, so this measurement places the planet within that size class.
