Kepler-1615 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1615 is a star 4550 light-years away with one known planet in orbit. The host star is 3.89 billion years old and has a mass of 1.04 solar masses and a radius of 1.05 solar radii, with a temperature of 5870 K.
The planet, Kepler-1615 b, was discovered by the transit method in 2016. Transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-1615 b has an orbital period of 47.3 days and a radius of 2.06 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
Kepler-1615 b is classified as a Super-Earth, a size class that reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius.
