Located in the outer edge of its host star's "habitable zone," scientists believe that this super-Earth could have water on its surface.

这颗超级地球位于其主恒星“宜居带”的外缘,科学家认为它表面上会有水。

"If the planet has a dense atmosphere, which will take future studies to determine, it could trap enough heat to warm the planet and allow liquid water on its surface," Diana Kossakowski, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, and co-author of the recent study, said in the statement.

德国海德堡的马克斯-普朗克天文研究所的研究员Diana Kossakowski是最近这项研究的共同作者,在声明中说:“这颗行星是否有稠密的大气层还有待未来研究进行考证,如果有,就可以吸收足够的热量来加热这颗行星,其表面上就会存在液态水。”

已发现这颗潜在的宜居星球和两颗临近的行星围绕一颗白矮星运行,这颗白矮星体积和质量约为太阳的三分之一,温度比太阳低40%。
