Kepler-61 b
Kepler-61 b
Kepler-61 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-61, located about 1092.9 light-years (335.1 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2013.
The host star Kepler-61 has apparent magnitude of 15.0, with absolute magnitude of 7.4. It is 0.6 times more massive and 0.7 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 4017 with its spectral types of K7 V
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet Kepler-61 b orbits around the star Kepler-61 every 59.9 days with its orbital distance of 0.27 AU ( 40391425.1 km)
(Projected orbit of Kepler-61 b around its host star Kepler-61)
The Star Kepler-61 's habitable zone is located at the following distance
