Its planets
EPIC 249893012 c — 3.7 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 16 days; about 720 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2020 by transit.
EPIC 249893012 b — 2 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 4 days; about 1,300 °C, hot enough to melt rock; found in 2020 by transit.
EPIC 249893012 d — 3.9 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 36 days; about 480 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2020 by transit.
