Kepler-617 and Its Planet
Kepler-617 is a distant stellar system located 565 light-years away. Its host star is an M1 V type, a small, cool red dwarf. The star is 3.98 billion years old and has a mass of 0.51 solar masses and a radius of 0.48 solar radii, both smaller than the Sun's. Its temperature is 3710 K, which is cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this star.
Kepler-617 b is an Earth-like planet discovered in 2016 by the transit method. It completes an orbit in 1.68 days and has a radius of 1.32 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's.
