About this world

Kepler-511 b is a Neptune-like planet orbiting Kepler-511, a yellow, Sun-like star 2.13 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 0.57 times the size of Jupiter. It completes an orbit every 297 days at 0.86 AU from its star.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 332 K (59 °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-511 has 2 known planets; the others are Kepler-511 c.
