Kepler-708 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-708 is a star located 4550 light-years away. It has a mass of 0.97 solar masses, a radius of 0.96 solar radii, a temperature of 5690 K, and an age of 4.37 billion years.
One planet is known to orbit this host, Kepler-708 b, discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-708 b is Neptune-like, a size class that reaches 4 times Earth's radius. It completes an orbit every 3.17 days and has a radius of 2.93 Earth radii, a reported radius estimate larger than Earth's.
