>Probably a good way to get attention for your paper but tidally locked, red dwarf and a 16 day day orbit are probably not ideal.

From the linked summary^1 for D. Kossakowski, et al.,^2 in my excerpt comment:^3

>Although the rotation of this planet, named Wolf 1069 b, is probably tidally locked to its path around the parent star, the team is optimistic it may provide durable habitable conditions across a wide area of its dayside.

>The absence of any apparent stellar activity or intense UV radiation increases the chances that Wolf 1069 b could have retained much of its atmosphere.
