Kepler-1294 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-1294 is a star located 6050 light-years away. It has 0.99 solar masses and 0.97 solar radii, meaning its mass and radius are each slightly below the Sun's. Its age is 3.98 billion years, and its temperature is 5780 K.
One planet orbits this host: Kepler-1294 b, a Neptune-like planet 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-1294 b completes an orbit every 116 days and has a radius of 3.19 Earth radii, larger than Earth's radius. As a Neptune-like planet, its size class extends to 4 times Earth's radius.
