GJ 682 b

Orbit0.08 AU
Year17.5 days
Mass≥ 4.4 M⊕
Temperature~282 K (estimated)

It circles Gliese 682 once every 17.5 days, 0.08 AU out: about 4.8 times closer than Mercury is to the Sun.

Found in 2014 by the radial velocity method, which measures the star's wobble. That gives a minimum mass, so it could be heavier.
