Kepler-1596 b: A Super-Earth in Transit
Kepler-1596 is a star located 7000 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is 3.89 billion years old and has a mass of 0.95 solar masses, a radius of 0.92 solar radii, and a temperature of 5710 K.
The planet, Kepler-1596 b, was 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-1596 b completes an orbit every 66.4 days and has a radius of 1.9 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's, placing it among the Super-Earth class.
