Kepler-597 b: A Super-Earth in a Distant Star System
Kepler-597 is a star located 2160 light-years away. It has a mass of 0.97 solar masses, a radius of 0.95 solar radii, and a temperature of 5680 K, which is cooler than the Sun's reported temperature. The star is 4.27 billion years old. One planet orbits this host: Kepler-597 b.
Kepler-597 b is classified as a Super-Earth, a size class that reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius, and its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's. Its radius measures 2.37 Earth radii, and it completes an orbit every 13 days. The planet was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passing in front of its star from our viewpoint causes a small dip in observed brightness.
