From later in the article:

“The closest planet takes just over nine Earth days to complete an orbit around the star, and the most distant takes about 55 days. All of the planets have quicker revolutions around their star than Mercury, which takes 88 days to complete one lap around the sun.

Given how close they are to HD110067, the planets likely have blistering average temperatures similar to Mercury and Venus, ranging between 332 degrees Fahrenheit and 980 degrees Fahrenheit (167 degrees Celsius and 527 degrees Celsius).”

This information definitely puts HD110067 into the “Don’t bother visiting” category.

There could easily be other planets in that system still undetected.

Maybe they have one side always facing their star so it’s only hot on that side. Of course it would be bitterly cold on the dark side, but maybe it’s temperate right on the border between the hot and cold zones—the twilight zone.
