Kepler-230: A Distant Star With Two Known Planets
Kepler-230 is a star located 2420 light-years away, and two planets have been found in orbit around it. The host star is 4.37 billion years old, with a mass of 0.84 solar masses and a radius of 0.81 solar radii. Its temperature is 5330 K, and its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, while its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
Both planets were discovered by transit in 2014. Kepler-230 b is a Jupiter-like planet with an orbital period of 32.6 days and a radius of 4.26 Earth radii, making it the largest and shortest-period planet among the listed planets. Kepler-230 c is a Super-Earth with an orbital period of 91.8 days and a radius of 2.04 Earth radii, making it the smallest and longest-period planet among the listed planets. Both planets have radii larger than Earth's.
