Kepler-126 b
Kepler-126 b
Kepler-126 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-126, located about 817.4 light-years (250.6 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2014.
The host star Kepler-126 has apparent magnitude of 9.6, with absolute magnitude of 2.6. It is 0.7 times more massive and 1.4 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 6270 with its spectral types of F8
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet Kepler-126 b orbits around the star Kepler-126 every 10.5 days with its orbital distance of 0.10 AU ( 14810189.2 km)
(Projected orbit of Kepler-126 b around its host star Kepler-126)
