LHS 475 b: A Potential Venus Analog Orbiting a Nearby M Dwarf

Based on photometric observations by TESS, we present the discovery of a potential Venus analog transiting LHS 475, an M3 dwarf located 12.5 pc from the Sun. The mass of the star is 0.274 ± 0.015 M _☉ . The planet, originally reported as TOI 910.01, has an orbital period of 2.0291010 ± 0.0000017 day...
