The recorded orbit
The selected archive solution gives an orbital period of 0.518233 days, or 0.00141884 Earth years. The listed eccentricity is 0. A zero may be a circular assumption fixed in the fit; consult the paper before treating it as an exact observed shape. The period measures a year on this planet. It does not establish the length of its rotation or the duration of daylight.
Read how orbital period, size, and eccentricity fit together.
Size and mass
The radius parameter is 1.193 (+0.074 / −0.074) Earth radii. Radius describes size; it does not specify the mass or the atmospheric composition. The mass parameter is 1.32 (+0.28 / −0.28) Earth masses. Its archive provenance is Mass. The source lists a bulk-density parameter of 4.2 (+1.3 / −1.1) 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 1252. The selected row gives spectral type M3. Its reported effective temperature is 3458 K. Its reported radius is 0.391 solar radii. Its reported mass is 0.381 solar masses. The available stellar and orbital entries do not establish a breathable atmosphere, surface water, or life.
