Recent studies regarding the habitability, observability, and possible orbital evolution of the indirectly detected exoplanet Proxima b have mostly assumed a planet with M similar to 1.3 M-circle plus, a rocky composition, and an Earth-like atmosphere or none at all. In order to assess these assumptions, we use previous studies of the radii, masses, and compositions of super-Earth exoplanets to probabilistically constrain the mass and radius of Proxima. b, assuming an isotropic inclination probability distribution. We find it is similar to 90% likely that the planet's density is consistent with a rocky composition; conversely, it is at least 10% likely that the planet has a significant amount of ice or an H/He envelope. If the planet does have a rocky composition, then we find expectation values and 95% confidence intervals of < M >(rocky) = 1.63(-0.72)(+1.66) M-circle plus for its mass and < R >(rocky) = 1.07(-0.31)(+0.38) R-circle plus for its radius.

Exoplanet discovery has grown more quickly in recent years. However, the nature of their discovery leaves many unanswered in questions regarding exoplanetary habitability. Proxima Centauri b, an exoplanet which orbits the Sun's closest stellar neighbour, Proxima Centauri, was recently discovered with a subzero equilibrium temperature. Although not considered habitable based on the classical definition of the liquid water range, there may be fractions of Proxima Centauri b which are habitable. A prior study simulated the climate conditions of Proxima Centauri b until equilibrium was reached, using a variety of initial conditions. In this project, various metrics for calculating the fractional habitability of Proxima Centauri b are presented and applied to the results of the prior study's simulations. Colormaps are used to show the ice and temperature distributions that produce the calculated values of fractional habitability. The fractional habitabilities calculated show that while the value is both case and metric dependent, for the vast majority of all cases and metrics the value is nonzero implying that Proxima Centauri b is likely to have habitable regions. / Upptäckandet av exoplaneter har ökat i takt över de senaste åren. Samtidigt, på grund av sättet som de upptäcks finns många obesvarade frågor angående planeternas beboelighet. Proxima Centauri b är en exoplanet som kretsar kring solens närmsta granne, Proxima Centauri. Exoplaneten upptäcktes nyligen med en jämviktstemperatur under $0\degree$C. Trots att exoplaneten inte anses beboelig enligt klassisk definition kan det finnas delar av Proxima Centauri b som är beboeliga. En tidigare studie simulerade klimatförhållandena av Proxima Centarui b till jämvikt nåddes, med varierade begynnelsetillstånd. I detta projekt beräknas andelen av Proxima Centauri b som är beboelig genom flera olika mått för "fractional habitability". Måtten jämförs med den tidigare studien och dess simuleringar. Grafiskt åsikdligörs resultaten via färgkartor över planeten för istjocklek och yttemperatur. De beräknade värdena på Proxima Centauri b's "fractional habitability" påvisar beroende på mått och begynnelsetillstånd. Däremot, för en majoritet av både fall och mått är värdet nollskilt vilket antyder att Proxima Centauri b är delvist beboelig.
