Kepler-1268 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1268 is a star located 6000 light-years away. It is 4.27 billion years old, has a mass of 1.06 solar masses and a radius of 1.09 solar radii, and its temperature is 5900 K. This makes its reported mass estimate larger than the Sun's and its reported temperature hotter than the Sun's.
One planet orbits this host: Kepler-1268 b, a Super-Earth discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Its orbital period is 41 days, and its radius is 2.03 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. A Super-Earth reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius, so the classification reflects the planet's radius rather than its composition.
