Kepler-38 (AB) b
Kepler-38 (AB) b
Kepler-38 (AB) b is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-38 A, located about 3965.4 light-years (1215.8 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2012.
The host star Kepler-38 A has apparent magnitude of 14.3, with absolute magnitude of 3.9. It is 0.9 times more massive and 1.8 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 5640 with its spectral types of G5
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet Kepler-38 (AB) b orbits around the star Kepler-38 A every 105.6 days with its orbital distance of 0.46 AU ( 69473251.2 km)
