The recorded orbit
The selected archive solution gives an orbital period of 1.62893 days, or 0.00445976 Earth years. Its reported semimajor axis is 0.0157 AU. That orbital scale is 0.0405582 times Mercury's semimajor axis. The listed eccentricity is 0.0118. Using those central values, the model's nearest and farthest star–planet distances are about 0.0155147 and 0.0158853 AU. These are derived comparisons, without propagated errors. The period measures a year on this planet. It does not establish the length of its rotation or the duration of daylight.

Size and mass
The radius parameter is 1.19151 (+0.0381105 / −0.0448359) Earth radii. Radius describes size; it does not specify the mass or the atmospheric composition. The mass parameter is 1.83705 (+0.190697 / −0.187519) Earth masses. Its archive provenance is Mass. The source lists a bulk-density parameter of 5.97 (+0.96 / −0.79) g/cm³. Different interior mixtures can overlap in density; the value does not identify a unique surface.
The host star and received light
The host is cataloged as GJ 1132. Its reported effective temperature is 3229 K. Its reported radius is 0.2211 solar radii. Its reported mass is 0.1945 solar masses. The planet's incident-flux parameter is 19.3 (+1.5 / −1.1) times Earth's received stellar flux. The equilibrium-temperature entry is 583.8 (+11 / −8.5) K. This is a model quantity, not a measured surface temperature. The available stellar and orbital entries do not establish a breathable atmosphere, surface water, or life.
