Kepler-28 is an M-type main-sequence star about 1,450 light-years (440 parsecs) away in the northern constellation of Cygnus.[2] With an apparent visual magnitude of 15.036,[3] this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. It is orbited by two exoplanets.

Planetary system

[edit]

The two transiting planets of Kepler-28 were discovered in 2011 using the Kepler space telescope, and were confirmed in early 2012.[9] They are both warm sub-Neptune gas planets.[7] The planetary parameters were updated in 2023, with lower values for all of mass, radius, and density compared to previous estimates.[5]
