Kepler-1250 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1250 is a single star located 6940 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is 4.57 billion years old and has a mass of 0.99 solar masses, a radius of 0.98 solar radii, and a temperature of 5720 K. Solar masses and radii compare stellar mass and radius with the Sun.
The planet, Kepler-1250 b, was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, which detects the small dip in a star's brightness when a planet passes in front of it from our viewpoint. Kepler-1250 b is a Super-Earth, a size class for planets whose radius reaches 2.5 times Earth's, and it orbits its star every 2.61 days. Its radius is 1.92 Earth radii, an estimate larger than Earth's, while its minimum mass remains unmeasured.
