          Description Kepler-167 b has been discovered by the Kepler spacecraft and was originally classified as a planet candidate. A new statistical analysis led by a team at NASA Ames Research Center has validated the planet with more than 99 percent confidence. Although many parameters of Kepler-167 b are still unknown, the object is highly unlikely to be a false positive. The probability that Kepler-167 b is a rocky planet is estimated to be 12.4%. Kepler-167 c has been discovered by the Kepler spacecraft and was originally classified as a planet candidate. A new statistical analysis led by a team at NASA Ames Research Center has validated the planet with more than 99 percent confidence. Although many parameters of Kepler-167 c are still unknown, the object is highly unlikely to be a false positive. The probability that Kepler-167 c is a rocky planet is estimated to be 15.9%. Kepler-167 d is the smallest known planet orbiting Kepler-167 and the third in order of distance. The probability that this is a rocky planet is estimated as 60.2%. The planet is too close to its star to be habitable. Kepler-167 e is the first discovery of a transiting Jupiter analogue. The planet is in a circular orbit at a distance of 1.890 AU from its host star, which is cooler and less luminous than the Sun. It receives an amount of radiation equivalent to that received by a planet 3.64 AU from the Sun. The mass has not yet been determined and the flat curve of the mass-radius relationship around the radius of Kepler-167 e allows for a wide range of possible masses, from 0.3 to 50 times that of Jupiter.

          Planet sizes

          The following plot shows the approximate sizes of the planets in this system The Solar System planets are shown as a comparison. Note that unless the radius has been determined through a transit observation, this is only an approximation (see Lissauer et al. 2011b).

          Habitable zone

          The following plot shows the approximate location of the planets in this system with respect to the habitable zone (green) and the size of the star (red). This is only an estimate, using the star's spectral type and mass. Note that if no green band is shown in the plot, then the planet's orbit is far outside the habitable zone. The equations of Selsis, Kasting et al are used to draw the inner and outer boundaries.
