Kepler-379: A Distant Star With Two Super-Earths
Kepler-379 is a star located 2390 light-years away, and two planets have been found orbiting it. The host star is estimated to be 3.47 billion years old, with a mass of 1.15 solar masses and a radius of 1.25 solar radii. Its temperature is 6120 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
Both planets were discovered by transit in 2014, a method in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-379 b is a Super-Earth with an orbital period of 20.1 days and a radius of 1.66 Earth radii. Kepler-379 c is also a Super-Earth, with an orbital period of 62.8 days and a radius of 2.29 Earth radii. The reported radius estimates of both planets are larger than Earth's. Among the listed planets, Kepler-379 b has the shortest year, while Kepler-379 c has the longest; Kepler-379 b also has the smallest radius, and Kepler-379 c has the largest.
