[5][7] The presence of cloudy atmosphere with cloud tops above pressure level of 0.1 bar cannot be excluded though.

[9] The planet probably also formed with a volatile-poor outgassing mantle, in a stagnant lid regime, because if the mantle was similar in constitution to Earth's, with plate tectonics, then it should still have a thick atmosphere, unless the red dwarf consistently flared at an uncharacteristically extreme rate not yet considered in atmospheric loss models.

[9] In order to explain the non-replenishment of volatiles via comets back onto the planet, it is also proposed that perhaps there is an outer gas giant in the star system.

[9] It is thought that LHS 3844 b is tidally locked due to its surface being 'relatively cool', although this hypothesis could possibly be complicated by the fact that the research into the temperature of the planet assumed that there was no atmosphere, a point which is not definitively confirmed.

[10] In August 2022, this planet and its host star were included among 20 systems to be named by the third NameExoWorlds project.
