LHS 1478

LHS 1478 is a M3V-type main sequence star located 59.4 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It has a mass of 0.24 solar masses and a radius of 0.25 solar radii. It has an effective temperature of 3381 Kelvin. The star is fairly inactive with no major flaring activity.

Planetary system

There is currently only one known exoplanet orbiting around the star named LHS 1478 b. It is a hot super-Earth with a mass of 2.33 Earths and a radius of 1.24 Earths. It has an equilibrium temperature of about ~595 K. James Webb Space Telescope observations disfavor the possibility of a low-albedo bare rock, suggesting that the planet either has an atmosphere or a high albedo.
