The Kepler-401 system contains 3 exoplanets. It is located 3149.23 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 1.17 solar masses |
Radius | 1.33 solar radiae |
Temperature | 6117 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | 0.02 decimal exponent |
Age | 3.55 billion years |
At 3.562 Earth masses, Kepler-401 b is a so called Super Earth. Super Earths could be terrestrial worlds like Earth, but they could also be ocean worlds or terrestrial worlds wrapped in a substantial atmosphere, in which case some refer to them as Mini Neptunes.
