I was digging through some old astronomy articles and I found this: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/super_earth_040825.html (http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/super_earth_040825.html)

Pretty close to Krypton I'd say; a rock planet, 50 lightyears away (as Krypton was in some chronicles), thin atmosphere, harsh temperatures, 14 times the mass of Earth (scarily ringing with Captain Kal's calculations of Daxamite strength). Only problem is it orbits Mu Arae, a yellow sun. Still I thought it was cool and worth mentioning.
