Kepler-1878 b: A Neptune-Like World in a Distant System
Kepler-1878 is a star located 4870 light-years away, with a mass of 0.953 solar masses, a radius of 0.863 solar radii, and a temperature of 5920 K. One planet orbits this host: Kepler-1878 b.
Kepler-1878 b is a Neptune-like planet, a size class that reaches 4 times Earth's radius. Its reported radius estimate is 2.92 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. It was discovered in 2021 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-1878 b completes one orbit every 4.45 days.
