Kepler-897 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-897 is a star located 4,960 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is 4.37 billion years old and has a mass of 1.03 solar masses, a radius of 1.04 solar radii, and a temperature of 5840 K.
The planet, Kepler-897 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. Kepler-897 b is classified as a Super-Earth, a size class that reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius. Its radius is 2.39 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's. It completes an orbit every 8.05 days.
