New Planet Discovered (Srry if this is old)

I've read about this before. The star it orbits is a dwarf star, so the "life zone" is much closer, and thus the sun appears very large in the sky, it's closer to its sun than Mercury is to ours.

They're supposed to be studying its radiation to see if it 1) has a molten core and 2) if it posesses the elements necessary for life: Carbon, Nitrogen, Lithium, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Iron.
