About this world

KOI-1783.01 is a Neptune-like planet orbiting KOI-1783, a yellow, Sun-like star 2.82 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 0.79 times the size of Jupiter and holds 0.22 Jupiter masses. It completes an orbit every 134 days at 0.53 AU from its star.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 412 K (139 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.

It was discovered in 2020 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. KOI-1783 has 2 known planets; the others are KOI-1783.02.
