Kepler-815 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
Kepler-815 is a star located 4110 light-years away. It has one planet. The star is 4.9 billion years old and has a mass of 1.25 solar masses, a radius of 3.42 solar radii, and a temperature of 5030 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, while its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-815 b was 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. It is a Jupiter-like planet, a size class for planets exceeding 4 times Earth's radius. Kepler-815 b has an orbital period of 8.58 days, the time it takes to complete one orbit, and a radius of 4.11 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
