Habitability Assessment
✓ Classified as a Temperate Habitable Zone Candidate.
With an estimated equilibrium temperature of 299 K (+26°C / +79°F) and a radius of 1.660 R⊕, Wolf 1061 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.
