Kepler-107 is a star about 1,694 light-years (519 parsecs) away in the constellation Cygnus. No stellar companions were found as of 2016.[8]

Planetary system

Kepler-107 has four known planets discovered in 2014.[9][10][11][12] A giant impact is the likely origin of two planets in the system.[4] Kepler-107 c is more than twice as dense (about 12.6 g/cm3) as the innermost exoplanet Kepler-107 b (about 5.3 g/cm3).[4]
