TOI-1452 b is a confirmed super-Earth exoplanet, possibly a water world, orbiting a red-dwarf star TOI-1452 about 100 light-years away in the Draco constellation.{{Cite web |last=Program |first=By Pat Brennan, NASA's Exoplanet Exploration |title=Discovery Alert: Intriguing New 'Super-Earth' Could Get a Closer Look |url=https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/news/1710/discovery-alert-intriguing-new-super-earth-could-get-a-closer-look/ |access-date=2022-08-27 |website=Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System}}{{Cite web |title=The Extrasolar Planet Encyclopaedia — TOI-1452 b |url=https://exoplanet.eu/catalog/toi_1452_b--8371/ |work=Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia |access-date=2022-08-27 }} The exoplanet is about 70% larger in diameter than Earth, and roughly five times as massive.{{Cite web |last=Cowing |first=Keith |date=2022-08-24 |title=TOI-1452 b: An Extrasolar World Covered In Water? |url=https://astrobiology.com/2022/08/toi-1452-b-an-extrasolar-world-covered-in-water.html |access-date=2022-08-27 |website=Astrobiology |language=en-US}}

System

The TOI-1452 star system is 99 light-years away from Earth,{{Cite web |title=TOI-1452 Star Information |url=https://www.stellarcatalog.com/stars/toi-1452 |website=Stellar Catalog |access-date=2023-09-14}} located in the constellation of Draco. It is a binary pair of dim red dwarf stars separated by only 96 astronomical units (AU). A notable feature of this system is the presence of an exoplanet around one of the stars, designated as TOI-1452 b.{{Cite web |title=Discovery of Ocean World with the CFHT |url=https://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/en/news/OceanWorld/ |website=Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope |access-date=2023-09-14}} It is two M4 dwarf stars that were observed by TESS as a priority, since they are on the cool dwarf list, a list of high-priority orange-red and red dwarf stars, that was uploaded to TESS. It is a flare star, with a flare observed by TESS where the star brightened by 5%. The secondary star is often distinguished from the first with the name "TOI-1760".{{Cite journal |last1=Cadieux |first1=Charles |last2=Doyon |first2=René |last3=Plotnykov |first3=Mykhaylo |last4=Hébrard |first4=Guillaume |last5=Jahandar |first5=Farbod |last6=Artigau |first6=Étienne |last7=Valencia |first7=Diana |last8=Cook |first8=Neil J. |last9=Martioli |first9=Eder |last10=Vandal |first10=Thomas |last11=Donati |first11=Jean-François |last12=Cloutier |first12=Ryan |last13=Narita |first13=Norio |last14=Fukui |first14=Akihiko |last15=Hirano |first15=Teruyuki |date=2022-08-12 |title=TOI-1452 b: SPIRou and TESS Reveal a Super-Earth in a Temperate Orbit Transiting an M4 Dwarf |journal=The Astronomical Journal |volume=164 |issue=3 |pages=96 |doi=10.3847/1538-3881/ac7cea |issn=0004-6256 |doi-access=free |arxiv=2208.06333 }}
