Habitability Assessment
✓ Classified as a Temperate Habitable Zone Candidate.
With an estimated equilibrium temperature of 242 K (-31°C / -24°F) and a radius of 1.160 R⊕, GJ 1061 d falls within the conservative empirical boundary where a solid rocky surface could sustain liquid surface water under suitable atmospheric greenhouse conditions.
Discovery Facility: La Silla Observatory.
