Kepler-102 is a star with five known planets. Kepler-102 is somewhat less luminous than the Sun.
Planetary system
On January 2014, a system of five planets around the star was announced, three of them being smaller than Earth. While 3 of the transit signals were discovered during the first year of the Kepler mission, their small size made them hard to confirm as possibilities of these being false positives were needed to be removed. Later, two other signals were detected. Follow-up radial velocity data helped to determine the mass of the largest planet.
