# Kepler-93 c

Kepler-93 c is a gas giant in the constellation [Lyra](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/lyra), 312.8 ly from Earth. Its mass is 3.00 M♃. It was discovered in 2014.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Gas giant
- **HOW FAR:** 312.8 ly — The light arriving now left it that long ago.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Lyra](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/lyra) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.
- **ONE ORBIT TAKES:** 4 years — One trip round Kepler-93.

## 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 |
| --- | --- |
| Host star temperature | 5669 ±75 K |
| Host star mass | 0.91 ±0.06 M☉ |
| Host star radius | 0.92 ±0.02 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) | 10.00 |

### 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-93 |
| Orbital period | 3.997 years |
| 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 | Radial Velocity |
| Discovered at | W. M. Keck Observatory |
