GJ 682 c

Orbit0.18 AU
Year57.3 days
Mass≥ 8.7 M⊕
Temperature~190 K (estimated)

It circles Gliese 682 once every 57.3 days, 0.18 AU out: about 2.2 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.
