2021, orbital brightness modulation (Kepler)
Outside the habitable zone

Masses found by the wobble method are minimums, because the orbit's tilt is unknown. Temperatures are equilibrium estimates for a bare planet, before any atmosphere.

How we know

Orbital Brightness Modulation

Discovered by orbital brightness modulation.
