Habitability Assessment
✓ Classified as a Temperate Habitable Zone Candidate.
With an estimated equilibrium temperature of 277 K (+4°C / +39°F) and a radius of 1.050 R⊕, Teegarden's Star 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.
