Gliese 536 b
Discoverer:	Suárez Mascareño et al.^[1] ^[2]
Discovered:	Nov. 2016
Discovery Method:	Radial Velocity
Apsis:	astron
Semimajor:	AU
Period:	d

Gliese 536 b also known as GJ 536 b^[2] ^[1] is a nearby^[3] ^[4] Super-Earth sized exoplanet orbiting interior to the circumstellar habitable zone^[3] ^[4] of the red dwarf (M1)^[1] star Gliese 536 every 8.7 days. Due to its short orbital period it could help with future studies of biological activity on exoplanets.^[3]

This exoplanet is given the title Super-Earth due to its immense size which is more than five times greater than the Earth. Like many other rocky exoplanets, Gliese 536 b should be part of a large planetary group. Astronomers are still in search of other planets that are in orbit of star Gliese 536.^[5] But this planet is hotter than Venus, and although the planet is hotter than it, it may be similar to Venus.
