Kepler-1630: A Cool Dim Star and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-1630 is a star 1080 light-years from Earth with one known planet. The host star is 5.01 billion years old, with a mass of 0.66 solar masses, a radius of 0.63 solar radii, and a temperature of 4740 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet, Kepler-1630 b, is a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2016. In this method a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness, and repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1630 b orbits once every 510 days and has a radius of 2.19 Earth radii, a reported estimate larger than Earth's. That radius places it in the Super-Earth class, which reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius.
