Kepler-364: A Distant Star With Two Super-Earths

Kepler-364 is a star located 2910 light-years away, orbited by two planets. The star is 3.47 billion years old and has a mass of 1.19 solar masses, a radius of 1.38 solar radii, and a temperature of 6180 K. Each of these reported estimates is larger or hotter than the corresponding value for the Sun.

Both planets are classified as Super-Earths, meaning their radii fall between 1.5 and 2.5 times Earth's radius, and both were discovered by the transit method in 2014. Kepler-364 b has a radius of 1.55 Earth radii, the smallest among the listed planets, and orbits once every 25.7 days, the shortest year among the listed planets. Kepler-364 c has a radius of 2.15 Earth radii, the largest among the listed planets, and a year of 60 days, the longest among the listed planets. Both planets' reported radius estimates are larger than Earth's.
