Habitability Assessment
✓ Classified as a Temperate Habitable Zone Candidate.
With an estimated equilibrium temperature of 300 K (27°C) and a radius of 1.520 R⊕, GJ 1132 c 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.
