Physical Characteristics[]
Lacaille 9352 b is a super earth with a solid, rocky surface with a mass of 4.2 earth masses. It is pretty much uninhabitable due to the fact it could have temperatures over 600 K. To have the same average temperature as Earth, it would need a bond albedo of ~0.96, and the same greenhouse effect as earth would make temperatures soar to 41°C. It is much too close to its star to be habitable, but it could have a m jhknoon, in which case it would be scorching and uninhabitable too.
Orbital Characteristics[]
Its orbital period is 9.262 days and its semimajor axis is 0.068 AU. Its orbital eccentricity is 0.09.
