| contents | We present the discovery and validation of TOI-7166b, a 2.01+/-0.05R_Earth planet orbiting a nearby low-mass star. We validated the planet by combining TESS and multi-color high-precision photometric observations from ground-based telescopes, together with spectroscopic data, high-contrast imaging, archival images, and statistical arguments. The host star is an M4-type dwarf at a distance of ~35 pc from the Sun. It has a mass and a radius of Ms=0.190+/-0.004M_Sun and Rs=0.222+/-0.005R_Sun, respectively. TOI-7166b has an orbital period of 12.9 days, which places it close to the inner edge of the Habitable Zone of its host star, receiving an insolation flux of Sp=1.07+/-0.08S_Earth and an equilibrium temperature of Teq=249+/-5K (assuming a null Bond albedo). The brightness of the host star makes TOI-7166 a suitable target for radial velocity follow-up to measure the planetary mass and bulk density. Moreover, the physical parameters of the system including the infrared brightness (Kmag = 10.6) of the star and the planet-to-star radius ratio (0.0823+/-0.0012) make TOI-7166b an exquisite target for transmission spectroscopic observations with the JWST, to constrain the exoplanet atmospheric compositions. |
