Description
Xenosulia is a rocky planet on the inner edge of the habitable zone of a red dwarf star. It is tidally locked, with one side permanently facing the sun, but deep oceans prevent the temperature extremes from getting too high. Still, temperature variation is greater than on Earth, giving the planet stronger winds. The planet is only about 16 light years from Earth and was recently settled by humans, and also hosts a plethora of its own native life.

Physical properties Mass: 2.17 M⊕
Radius: 7735 km
Density: 6.687 g/cm3
Surface gravity: 1.47g
Escape velocity: 14.95 km/s

MotionSemi-major axis: 5.960 million km
Orbital period: 6.915 Earth days
Rotational period: Synchronous
Axial tilt: Negligible
Eccentricity: 0.0058
Orbital inclination: 14 degrees

Atmosphere Oxygen: 82.8%
Carbon dioxide: 14.9 %
Nitrogen: 1.9%
Argon: 0.4%
Methane: 0.035%
Carbon monoxide: 0.023%
Hydrogen: 0.006%
Sulphur dioxide: 0.002%
Hydrogen sulphide: 0.001%

(The above is just the dry composition; there are also varying amounts of water vapour)

Atmospheric pressure: 0.64 bars

Surface temperature: 40 degrees Celsius at sub-stellar point, -50 degrees at counter-stellar point, around 18 degrees at twilight.
