Thank you. What is your source? Or did I miss it in the paper itself?

The answer to your question is about 620 light years distant. Pretty close for a Kepler Candidate and at a similar distance to Kepler 22

The paper, which I linked, only gives a little information. The planet orbits every 42 days and has an effective surface temperature of approximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit. As I said tonight on the John Batchelor Show, kind of like a typical spring day here in Tucson.

The star has a radius half that of the Sun, with an stellar effective temperature of 4103 degrees Kelvin, or just under 7000 degrees Fahrenheit. From what I can gather, this would make it a K star, dimmer than the sun, which of course explains why the planet can be in the habitable zone and only have a year 42 days long.

Unfortunately, the paper does not tell us how far away this star is. I’ve dug about, but have not been able to find out anything.
