From what I remember, and it's been a few years since I read up on it, there are a few planets within the habitable zone of the star, but because the star is a red dwarf, that means that the planets are pretty close to the star relative to its mass and they are probably tidally locked. Tidally locked planets theoretically could have a "eyeball" like pattern where the back side is frozen solid, the "pupil" is scorching hot, with an "iris" zone that is semi-temperate because it is cooled from the frozen region that never sees the light from the sun and warmed by the side that is constantly in the sun.
