Kepler-1070 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1070 is a star 3060 light-years away with one known planet in orbit around it. The host star is 2.75 billion years old, has a mass of 1.21 solar masses, a radius of 1.32 solar radii, and a temperature of 6260 K. Its mass and radius are larger than the Sun's, and its temperature is hotter.
The planet Kepler-1070 b is a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-1070 b orbits every 6.22 days and has a radius of 1.73 Earth radii, making it larger than Earth. Planet size classes compare radius with Earth's, and a Super-Earth reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius.
