Kepler-826 b: A Close-In Earth-Like World
Kepler-826 is a star located 2540 light-years away. It has one planet, Kepler-826 b. The host star is 4.37 billion years old, with a mass of 1.05 solar masses and a radius of 1.15 solar radii, making its reported radius estimate larger than the Sun's. Its temperature of 6080 K is hotter than the Sun's.
Kepler-826 b was discovered by the transit method 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-826 b completes an orbit every 4.49 days. Its radius is 1.25 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. This places it within the Earth-like size class, which covers planets up to 1.5 times Earth's radius. Size classes compare radius with Earth's, not composition.
