Kepler-213 and Its Two Super-Earths

Kepler-213 is a star 2070 light-years away with two planets. The star is 1.62 billion years old, has a mass of 1.07 solar masses, a radius of 1 solar radii, and a temperature of 5740 K. Its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's.

Both planets were discovered by transit in 2014 and are classified as Super-Earths, a size class reaching 2.5 times Earth's radius. Kepler-213 b has an orbital period of 2.46 days and a radius of 1.62 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Kepler-213 c has an orbital period of 4.82 days and a radius of 2.34 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Among the listed planets, Kepler-213 b has the shortest orbital period and the smallest radius by reported estimates, while Kepler-213 c has the longest orbital period and the largest radius.
