TOI-512b: A Super-Earth Around a K-type Star

Rodrigues et al. confirm TOI-512b, a super-Earth orbiting a K-type star, using TESS and ESPRESSO. The planet has a radius of 1.54 Earth radii and a mass of 3.57 Earth masses, suggesting a rocky composition with a small core and minimal atmosphere. A second candidate planet was ruled out. While TOI-512b is not ideal for current atmospheric studies, it remains a valuable target for future exoplanet research.
