Kepler-794 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-794 is a star located 3040 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet, Kepler-794 b. The star is 4.07 billion years old, with a mass of 1.19 solar masses, a radius of 1.38 solar radii, and a temperature of 5840 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
Kepler-794 b is classified as a Super-Earth, a size class that reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius. The planet was discovered by transit and announced in 2016. Its reported radius estimate is 2.11 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and it completes an orbit every 11.1 days. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness.
