About this world
Kepler-167 e is a gas giant orbiting Kepler-167, an orange dwarf (type K4) 1.12 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 0.91 times the size of Jupiter and holds 1 Jupiter masses. It completes an orbit every 2.93 years at 1.9 AU from its star, on a strongly elongated orbit (e = 0.29).
Its equilibrium temperature is about 134 K (−139 °C): too cold for liquid water on its surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium. Its atmosphere has already been studied: 2 spectroscopic observations, all of them with the James Webb Space Telescope.
It was discovered in 2016 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. Kepler-167 has 4 known planets; the others are Kepler-167 b, Kepler-167 c and Kepler-167 d.
