Habitability & Planetary Characterization
☁️ Gaseous Envelope: With a radius exceeding 2.2 Earth radii, this world is modeled as a volatile-rich sub-Neptune or Jovian gas giant without a defined solid surface boundary.
Earth Similarity Index (ESI): 0.37
Earth Baseline = 1.00
0.00 Dissimilar
0.50 Mars Scale
0.70 Analog Regime
1.00 Earth
Methodology: Computed using the Schulze-Makuch et al. (2011) weighted metric comparing physical interior (radius, estimated density) and surface thermal regime (escape velocity, equilibrium temperature).
Discovery Facility: Multiple Facilities.
