Kepler-787 b: A Close-Orbiting Earth-Like World
Kepler-787 is a star located 1640 light-years away. It hosts one known planet. The star is estimated to be 3.39 billion years old, with a mass of 0.65 solar masses and a radius of 0.62 solar radii. Its temperature is 4250 K. Its reported mass estimate is smaller than the Sun's, its reported radius estimate is smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-787 b was discovered by the transit method, which detects the small dip in a star's brightness when a planet passes in front of it, in 2016. Its orbital period is 0.928 days. Its radius is 1.28 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. That size places it in the Earth-like class, which stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius; this classification compares radius, not composition.
