Three super-Earths discovered in the GJ 1061 red dwarf system
An article being published in the journal “Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society” reports the discovery of three super-Earths in the system of the red dwarf star GJ 1061. A team of astronomers from the Red Dots collaboration made this discovery during the 2018 observation campaign thanks to a series of spectroscopic detections obtained over three months using the radial velocity method. The masses of these exoplanets are a bit higher than the Earth’s and the outermost is in its system’s habitable zone, where it receives an amount of energy from its star close to what the Earth receives from the Sun.
