The exoplanet TOI-2211 b is a super-Earth located on a close orbit around an orange dwarf star, completing one revolution every 3.09 days. Because it is positioned so close to its host star, it is subjected to intense radiation that often strips away light primordial atmospheres made of hydrogen and helium. The current analysis indicates that the mass and radius of the planet are not consistent with a simple bare rocky interior, nor with an atmosphere dominated by hydrogen. Instead, it is likely...
