Kepler-1608 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1608 is a star with one known planet. Its mass is 0.75 solar masses, its radius is 0.72 solar radii, and its temperature is 4990 K. The star is 5.13 billion years old, and its reported mass, radius, and temperature are all smaller or cooler than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-1608 b 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; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1608 b is a Super-Earth, a size class that reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius. Its radius is 1.73 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and it orbits every 16.5 days.
