Kepler-260 and Its Two Super-Earths

Kepler-260 is a star located 2050 light-years away, and two planets have been found orbiting it. The host star has an age of 4.47 billion years, a mass of 0.92 solar masses, a radius of 0.88 solar radii, and a temperature of 5470 K. Its mass, radius, and temperature are all reported as smaller or cooler than the Sun's.

Both planets were discovered by transit in 2014, the method in which a planet crosses in front of its star and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-260 b is a Super-Earth with an orbital period of 8.19 days and a radius of 2.01 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Kepler-260 c is also a Super-Earth, with an orbital period of 76.1 days and a radius of 1.74 Earth radii, also larger than Earth's. Among the listed planets, Kepler-260 b has the shortest year and the largest radius, while Kepler-260 c has the longest year and the smallest radius.
