Melquiades not actually in Habitable Zone
[edit]In the paper about Trojan habitability by Schwarz et al. from 2007 (wiki page reference #3), the mass of HD 93083 is recorded as 0.7 solar masses (p. 1028). A rough calculation from this figure gives an inner edge of the Habitable Zone at 0.46/0.47 AU, therefore putting Melquiades's semi-major axis (not even its periastron) of 0.477 AU within this zone. Mass estimates which actually place the star closer to 0.8 solar masses are incompatible with this Habitable Zone entirely. ~2026-10123-16 (talk) 05:50, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
