Habitability Assessment
✓ Classified as a Temperate Habitable Zone Candidate.
With an estimated equilibrium temperature of 322 K (+49°C / +120°F) and a radius of 1.100 R⊕, G 261-6 b falls within the conservative empirical boundary where a solid rocky surface could sustain liquid surface water under suitable atmospheric greenhouse conditions.
Discovery Facility: Calar Alto Observatory.
