Super-earth around TOI-1452
It is 1.67 times Earth's radius, closest in size to Earth, and 4.8 times Earth's mass, at 5.60 g/cm3, denser than Earth. A year there lasts 11.06 days, on an orbit 6 times closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun. Its equilibrium temperature is 326 K, hotter than any desert. The host star TOI-1452 runs at 3185 K with 0.25 times the Sun's mass.

:CHECKLIST
What is established here and what is missing
[ ] On the edge of the habitable zone. Borderline.
[ ] Dense enough to be rock rather than gas, at 5.60 g/cm3. Yes.
[ ] A measured mass, not just a radius. Yes.
[ ] A measured temperature rather than one derived from the star. Yes.
[ ] Any detection of an atmosphere. Not recorded in the archive.

What the dip tells you
Block a known fraction of a known star and you have measured a width.

:NOTE
Two independent measurements sit behind this page: a dip in starlight for the size, and something else entirely for the mass. Together they make a density.

:NOTE
Found by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in 2022. TESS scans most of the sky in 27-day stretches, so it favours bright nearby stars and short orbits over the faint distant ones Kepler specialised in.
