Kepler-915 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-915 is a single-star system 2770 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The host star is 3.39 billion years old, with a mass of 1.21 solar masses and a radius of 1.38 solar radii, and its temperature is 6170 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The only listed planet is Kepler-915 b, a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2016. It orbits every 4.59 days at a radius of 1.5 Earth radii, and its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's. 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.
