Gliese 682 c

Gliese 682 c is an extra Solar planet orbiting the red dwarf Gliese 682. It is considered to be a super-Earth.

The planet has a mass of 4.4 ME and a radius of ~1.5 RE if rocky The planet was one of four discovered by researchers at the University of Hertfordshire was discovered March 4, 2014. The planet at discovery was the second closest known planet in the so called Goldilocks zone [1] it was also the 7th highest score on the ESI, but is now 45th with an ESI score of 0.59.

It orbits Gliese 682 at 0.176AU, in a nearly circular orbit each 57.3 days.[2]
