# Kepler-1065 b

Kepler-1065 b is a Neptune-like [planet](https://spacecatalog.org/planets) in the constellation [Cygnus](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/cygnus), 3661 ly from Earth. It orbits Kepler-1065 at a mean distance of 0.0455 AU. It has a mass of 13.40 M⊕ and a radius of 3.73 R⊕ · 23 790 km. It was discovered in 2016.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Neptune-like planet
- **HOW FAR:** 3661 ly — The light arriving now left it that long ago.
- **HOW BIG:** 3.73 R⊕ · 23 790 km — Its radius: half the width across.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Cygnus](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/cygnus) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.
- **ONE ORBIT TAKES:** 3.61 days — One trip round Kepler-1065.

## Catalogue data

### WHAT KIND OF THING IT IS

What the object is in itself, rather than how it happens to look from here.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Equilibrium temperature | 1092 K |
| Host star temperature | 5635 +166 / −202 K |
| Host star mass | 0.94 +0.065 / −0.063 M☉ |
| Host star radius | 0.93 +0.16 / −0.087 R☉ |

### HOW BRIGHT IT IS

What the light adds up to, measured through one filter at a time. A magnitude is a brightness on a backwards scale — the smaller the number, the brighter the object.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Host star apparent magnitude (V) | 15.74 |

### THE ORBIT

The shape of the path, where the object sits on it, and the instant those figures were true of. An orbit is a fit to observations and drifts away from the real one either side of its epoch.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Host star | Kepler-1065 |
| Orbital period | 3.60931 days |
| Eccentricity | 0 |
| Inclination | 88.42° |
| Transit midpoint | 2454966.7915 BJD |
| Stars in system | 1 |
| Planets in system | 2 |

### WHEN IT WAS FOUND

Who first saw it, from where, and by what method.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Discovery method | Transit |
| Discovered at | Kepler |
