"Astronomers Uncover Ultra-Short-Period Super-Earth in New Discovery"

Using NASA's TESS, astronomers have discovered an ultra-short-period exoplanet, Wolf 327 b, orbiting a nearby M-dwarf star. This super-Earth is slightly larger and 2.5 times more massive than Earth, with a rocky composition and a 13.7-hour orbit. The findings, reported in a paper on arXiv, suggest the potential for detecting secondary transits with the James Webb Space Telescope and hint at the possibility of other planets in the system.
