“TOI-715 b was announced in early 2024 as a habitable-zone planet discovered with data from NASA's TESS, orbiting the nearby red dwarf star TOI-715 with a period of about 19.3 days. This system represents the first TESS discovery to fall within the most conservative and widely applicable definition of the habitable zone, the narrow range where an Earth-like planet is most confidently expected to support surface liquid water. The host,…”

“TOI-715 b is about one and a half times as wide as Earth, with a radius near 1.55 Earth radii and an estimated mass around 3.0 Earth masses, classifying it as a super-Earth. It receives an insolation of about 0.67 times the solar constant (with sizable uncertainty), which places it inside the conservative habitable zone of its M4 red-dwarf host. Being larger than Earth, TOI-715 b carries the usual super-Earth caveat that planets above…”
