description TOI-1452 Overview

TOI-1452 is a small red-dwarf star about 100 light-years away in the constellation Draco and a member of a widely separated binary system. It hosts TOI-1452 b, a transiting super-Earth announced in 2022 after observations by NASA's TESS mission and ground-based instruments. Measurements of the planet's radius and mass permit models with a substantial water fraction, making it an ocean-world candidate, but they do not establish that a surface ocean is actually present.
