Kepler-23 is a G-type main-sequence star about 2,860 light-years (880 parsecs) away in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan. With an apparent visual magnitude of 13.5, [3] it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. This star is similar in mass and temperature to the Sun, but is larger and more luminous. [5] [4] Kepler-23 is orbited by three known exoplanets. [6]

Planetary system

Three transiting exoplanets orbit this star, discovered using the Kepler space telescope. Two planets, Kepler-23b and Kepler-23c, were discovered in 2011 and were confirmed in 2012. [5] A third planet, Kepler-23d, was confirmed in 2014 as part of a study validating hundreds of Kepler candidates. [7] All three planets are between Earth and Neptune in size ( sub-Neptunes), and their masses have been measured via transit-timing variations, showing that they have lower densities than Earth. [4]
