Gliese 887 c (GJ 887 c) orLacaille 9352 c is anexoplanet announced in 2020 and located 10.74 light years away, in the constellation of Piscis Austrinus.[3]
It was detected using the radial velocity method from observations withHARPS in Chile andHIRES in Hawaii.[2]
Gliese 887 c is considered aSuper-Earth with a minimum mass of 7.6 Earth masses.[4]
With an orbital period of 21.8 days, the exoplanet is located at 0.12 AU from the star, which is close to the inner edge of the habitable zone (but still outside).[5]
The exoplanet has a calculatedequilibrium temperature of 352 K (79 °C; 174 °F).[2]
The planet orbits the red dwarf star Gliese 887, which has an age of 4.57 billion years.[6]
