Kepler-1632b
Kepler 1632b is an exoplanet in orbit around an F-type star 2,338 light years from Earth.[1]
Properties
Mass and radius
Kepler 1632b's mass (6.66 Earth masses)[1] and its density (2.42 g/cm3) point to either a water world or an ice giant.
Orbit
Kepler 1632b has an eccentricity of 0. Its orbital period is 448 days and 7 hours.[1]
Star
The host is an F-type star that is not visible to the naked eye.[1] It has a temperature of 6137 K, a mass of 1.12 solar masses, a radius of 1.19 solar radii, and a metallicity of 0 dex.[2]
Habitability
If Kepler 1632b is a water world, then it could have life, as it orbits in the inner habitable zone.[2] The water could be 100 miles (161 kilometers) deep or more, and there would be no dry land. If it is an ice giant, then it might have habitable moons that could support life, although the mass ratio would need to be, at the smallest possible mass for a habitable moon, 1/248.5.
Discovery
Kepler 1632b was discovered in 2016 by Kepler. Kepler used the transit method to find Kepler 1632b.[1]
