About this world
Kepler-324 e is a sub-Neptune orbiting Kepler-324, an orange dwarf 1.64 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 2 times the size of Earth and holds 240 Earth masses. It completes an orbit every 14 days at 0.11 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 635 K (362 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. By the "cosmic shoreline", it has likely held on to an atmosphere.
It was discovered in 2021 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. Kepler-324 has 4 known planets; the others are Kepler-324 b, KOI-1831 d and Kepler-324 c.
