About this world

Kepler-1513 b is a Neptune-like planet orbiting Kepler-1513, a yellow, Sun-like star (type GV) 1.14 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 0.77 times the size of Jupiter and holds 0.15 Jupiter masses. It completes an orbit every 161 days at 0.57 AU from its star, on a strongly elongated orbit (e = 0.31).

Its equilibrium temperature is about 346 K (73 °C): too cold for liquid water on its 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. Kepler-1513 has 2 known planets; the others are Kepler-1513 c.
