GJ 1252 b: a 1.2 R⊕ planet transiting an M3 dwarf at 20.4 pc

We report the discovery of GJ 1252 b, a planet with a radius of 1.193 ± 0.074 R and an orbital period of 0.52 days around an M3-type star (0.381 ± 0.019 M, 0.391 ± 0.020 R) located 20.385 ± 0.019 pc away. We use Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) data, ground-based photometry and spectrosc...
