About this world
KOI-7913 b is a sub-Neptune orbiting KOI-7913 A, an orange dwarf (type K6V) 885 light-years from Earth. It is about 2.3 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 24.3 days at 0.15 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 432 K (159 °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 2022 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction.
