About this world

Kepler-1514 c is an Earth-sized planet orbiting Kepler-1514, a yellow-white F-type star 1.3 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 1.2 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 10.5 days at 0.1 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun, on a strongly elongated orbit (e = 0.32).

Its equilibrium temperature is about 1,066 K (793 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. By the "cosmic shoreline", its star has probably stripped its atmosphere away, leaving bare rock.

It was discovered in 2020 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. Kepler-1514 has 2 known planets; the others are Kepler-1514 b.
