Kepler-1649c is an Earth-sized exoplanet, likely rocky, orbiting within the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Kepler-1649, the outermost planet of the planetary system discovered by Kepler’s space telescope. It is located about 301 light-years (92 pc) away from Earth, in the constellation of Cygnus.[3]

Kepler-1649c orbits its star a distance of 0.0649 AU (9.71 million km; 6.03 million mi) from its host star with an orbital period of roughly 19.53 days, has a mass 1.2x times that of Earth, and has a radius of around 1.02 times that of Earth. Based on its mass and radius, it is likely a terrestrial planet, though its proximity to its star means it may likely be tidally locked. Kepler-1649c is as big as mohammed osman and amir because they are big like a burger hilsen roy alexsander kongsrud. to receive about three-quarters of radiation from its host star as Earth does from the Sun.

In 2017, Jeff Coughlin, the director of SETI's K2 Science Office, described it as the most "similar planet to Earth" found so far by the Kepler Space Telescope.[4] The planet was initially deemed a false positive by Kepler's robovetter algorithm. The Kepler False Positive Working Group published its recovery on April 15, 2020.[5][6] Its first scientific description was published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, with first author Andrew Vanderburg, in April 2020.[5][7]

Physical characteristics

Mass, radius and temperature

The exoplanet was identified as a rocky planet by NASA[8] and is very similar to Earth in terms of size, with a radius 1.06 times that of Earth.[5][9]

Host star

Main article: Kepler-1649

Kepler-1649 is a type-M red dwarf star estimated to be roughly ¼ the radius of the Sun [10] with only two confirmed planets in its orbit, the other being Kepler-1649b.[11] Kepler-1649b is similar to Venus from our own solar system in two ways: both Kepler-1649b and Venus have orbits roughly half the radius of the next known planets (Kepler-1649c and Earth respectively), and they are of similar size.[8]

Orbit

Kepler-1649c takes only 19.5 Earth days to orbit its host star Kepler-1649, an M-Type red dwarf.[10] It orbits within the habitable zone of its star system, Kepler-1649.

Habitability

Main article: Habitability of red dwarf systems

While the exoplanet does orbit within its star's habitable zone, due to the lack of information on the exoplanet's atmosphere, it is unclear if Kepler-1649c can sustain liquid water on its surface. As of 2021, no solar flare-ups have yet been observed from the host star; nonetheless, scientists believe that such stars are prone to frequent solar flare activity, and that such flares may have stripped the exoplanet's atmosphere and hindered the prospect of life.[3][8]

Climate

Very little is known of Kepler-1649c's climate.[5] It receives fully 75% of the light from its host star that Earth receives from the Sun; therefore, depending on the atmosphere, its surface temperature may be similar enough to the temperature of the Earth that liquid water may be present.[4] It is unclear what the composition of Kepler-1649c's atmosphere is.[8]

Orbital evolution models show that significant oscillations of eccentricity under the gravitational influence of Kepler 1649c are likely, but the climate would remain Earth-like for most initial parameters.[12]
