It is 144 ly away.[1] It has a density of 1.82g/cm3, indicating that it could be a Gas dwarf or a mini-Neptune. It is one of the smallest gas planets ever discovered. Despite not being the smallest planet in the system by radius,[2] by mass it is by far the least massive, with a mass only double that of Earth.[2]
