TOI-6002 and Its Super-Earth
TOI-6002 is an M-type dwarf lying 104 light-years away. Its spectral type, M3.5+/-0.5, places it among the small, cool red dwarfs. The star is 6.35 billion years old, with a mass of 0.21 solar masses and a radius of 0.243 solar radii, and its temperature is 3230 K. Its mass and radius are both smaller than the Sun's, and it is cooler than the Sun. One planet is known to orbit this star.
That planet, TOI-6002 b, is a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2024. It completes an orbit every 10.9 days and has a radius of 1.65 Earth radii, making it larger than Earth.
