About this world
K2-323 b is a sub-Neptune orbiting K2-323, a cool red dwarf 386 light-years from Earth. It is about 2.1 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 24.9 days at 0.13 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 318 K (45 °C): too cold for liquid water on its surface. By the "cosmic shoreline", it has likely held on to an atmosphere.
It was discovered in 2020 by transit with K2. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction.
