Kepler-816 and Its Lone Planet
Kepler-816 is a star 3210 light-years away with a single known planet, Kepler-816 b. The host star is 4.17 billion years old and has a mass of 0.9 solar masses, a radius of 0.85 solar radii, and a temperature of 5290 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
Kepler-816 b is a Jupiter-like planet discovered by transit in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-816 b orbits every 10.5 days and has a radius of 10.2 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
