Kepler-1516 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1516 is a star 4430 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is 1.07 solar radii and 1.04 solar masses, with a temperature of 5900 K and an age of 4.07 billion years.
The planet, Kepler-1516 b, is classified as a Super-Earth, meaning its radius reaches up to 2.5 times Earth's radius. It was 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. Kepler-1516 b orbits every 7.26 days and has a radius of 1.75 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
