Kepler-1208 b: A Super-Earth in a Distant System
Kepler-1208 is a star located 2690 light-years away, with one known planet in orbit around it. The star is estimated to be 4.47 billion years old, with a mass of 0.8 solar masses and a radius of 0.76 solar radii. Its temperature is 5000 K, which is cooler than the Sun's, and both its mass and radius are smaller than the Sun's.
The system's only known planet, Kepler-1208 b, was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, which detects the small dip in a star's brightness caused when a planet passes in front of it. Kepler-1208 b is classified as a Super-Earth, a size class that reaches up to 2.5 times Earth's radius. Its radius is 2.32 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and it completes one orbit in 11.1 days.
