About this world

Kepler-1341 b is a sub-Neptune orbiting Kepler-1341, an orange dwarf 1.56 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 3 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 133 days at 0.47 AU from its star.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 241 K (−32 °C), which places it in the optimistic habitable zone: the band where liquid water could exist on a rocky surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.

It was discovered in 2016 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction.
