Discovery[1]
Discovered by	Kepler space telescope
Discovery date	2016
Orbital characteristics
Eccentricity	0
Orbital period (sidereal)	168.811174±0.001271 d
Star	Kepler-1544
Physical characteristics
Mean radius	0.159+0.008 −0.006 RJ

Characteristics

The planet orbits the K-type star Kepler-1544, which has a metallicity of 0.02 Fe/H.^{[citation needed]}

Kepler-1544b is considered a super-Earth with a radius of 1.78 Earth radii and an estimated mass of 3.82 Earth masses.[2]

Habitability

With an orbital period of 168 days, the exoplanet is located at 0.54 AU from the star, which is close to the orbital distance at Earth's Equivalent Radiation (0.49 AU).[3]

Despite the fact that NASA considers this planet gaseous, it could have a surface composition considering that its mass stays below 10 Earth masses.[4]
