Revisiting The Exo-Mercury Candidate GJ 367 b With ESPRESSO And A Self-Consistent Tidal Distortion Model

We report revised mass and radius measurements for GJ 367 b, an ultra-short-period (7.7 hr) sub-Earth in a multi-planet system orbiting a nearby (~9 pc) M dwarf host. Previous mass and radius measurements have suggested GJ 367 b has an anomalously high bulk density, close to that of solid iron. The existence of such an [...] The post Revisiting The Exo-Mercury Candidate GJ 367 b With ESPRESSO And A Self-Consistent Tidal Distortion Model appeared first on Astrobiology .
