Key parameters at a glance

  • A radius of 1.67 Earth radii
  • A mass of 4.82 Earth masses
  • Surface gravity around 1.72 g
  • An orbital period of 11.062 days
  • Semi-major axis 0.0610 AU
  • Equilibrium temperature 326 K (53 °C)
  • Distance from Earth 99.55 light-years

Context from the literature

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. The exoplanet is about 70% larger in diameter than Earth, and roughly five times as massive.
