TOI-1452 b is a confirmed super-Earth exoplanet, possibly a water world, orbiting a red-dwarf star TOI-1452 about 100 light-years away in the Draco constellation.[1] [2] The exoplanet is about 70% larger in diameter than Earth, and roughly five times as massive.[3]

System

The TOI-1452 star system is 99 light-years away from Earth,[4] located in the constellation of Draco. It is a binary pair of dim red dwarf stars separated by only 96 astronomical units (AU). A notable feature of this system is the presence of an exoplanet around one of the stars, designated as TOI-1452 b.[5] It is two M4 dwarf stars that were observed by TESS as a priority, since they are on the cool dwarf list, a list of high-priority orange-red and red dwarf stars, that was uploaded to TESS. It is a flare star, with a flare observed by TESS where the star brightened by 5%. The secondary star is often distinguished from the first with the name "TOI-1760".[6]

Discovery

TOI-1452 b was discovered by an international team led by astronomers from the Université de Montréal,[7] [8] using data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).[9] [10] The discovery was first reported in June 2022.
