Wolf 327 b
Wolf 327 b is a Super-Earth exoplanet that orbits an M-type star named Wolf 327. It has a mass of 2.53 Earths, and it takes 0.6 Earth Days to complete one full orbit around its star. It is located 0.01 AU from its host star and its discovery was announced in 2024.

Basic characteristics
Wolf 327b has a mass of around 2.5 that of Earth's Mass. Since it is a Super-Earth exoplanet it is larger than Earth, with a radius of 1.24 that of Earth. The Planet is extremely hot with a surface temperature of 723 degrees Celsius (1,333 degrees Fahrenheit).

Discovery
Using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new ultra-short-period exoplanet. The new-found alien world, designated Wolf 327 b, is slightly larger than Earth. The finding was reported in a paper published on January 22, 2024, on the pre-print server arXiv.

A group of astronomers led by Felipe Murgas of the University of La Laguna, Spain, now reports the confirmation of another TOI monitored by TESS. According to a recently published study, a transit signal has been identified in the light curve of Wolf 327, a nearby M-dwarf star. The planetary nature of this signal was confirmed by follow-up photometry, high-resolution imaging, and radial velocity (RV) measurements.
