Kepler-160 and Its Three Planets

Kepler-160 is a star located 3060 light-years away, with three planets known to orbit it. The host star is 4.07 billion years old, has 0.97 solar masses and 0.95 solar radii, and a temperature of 5710 K.

Kepler-160 b is a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2014. It orbits every 4.31 days and has a radius of 1.72 Earth radii. Kepler-160 c, a Neptune-like planet also found by transit in 2014, orbits every 13.7 days with a radius of 3.76 Earth radii. Kepler-160 d was discovered in 2020 through transit timing variations, has a mass reported as an upper limit of 100 Earth masses, and orbits every 30 days. Among the listed planets, Kepler-160 b has the shortest year and Kepler-160 d the longest, while Kepler-160 c has the second-shortest year. The reported radius estimates for Kepler-160 b and Kepler-160 c are both larger than Earth's.
