Surface temperatures Tsurf (𝑋C+O, C/O) for varying Psurf (from left to right: 1, 10, and 100 bar). For comparability, the internal temperatures Tint (185, 104, and 56 K, respectively) were chosen such that the minimum Tsurf for each pressure is at the freezing point of water, 273 K. For this, Tsurf(Tint) was linearly interpolated. -- MNRAS

Liquid water is considered essential for life. Surprisingly, however, stable conditions that are conducive to life could exist far from any sun.
