Kepler-1979 b: A Jupiter-Like Planet in a Distant System
Kepler-1979 is a star located 3510 light-years away. It has one known planet. The star's reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's, at 1.01 solar masses, while its reported radius estimate is smaller than the Sun's, at 0.924 solar radii. Its temperature is 5690 K.
The planet Kepler-1979 b was discovered by transit in 2023. 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. Kepler-1979 b completes an orbit every 18.5 days. Its radius is 29.3 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and its size class is Jupiter-like, exceeding four times Earth's radius.
