Why is this a Lava World?Your planet's proximity to its star (2.38 AU) results in extreme surface temperatures of 3204K.
Lava worlds orbit so close to their stars that rocky surfaces melt into oceans of molten rock. Recent planet formation can also create temporary lava worlds.

Contributing Factors
water0
No water - the recipe has no hydrogen and oxygen to form it
geology40
Extreme volcanic activity may be hazardous
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry20
Limited organic chemistry potential
atmosphere4
No atmosphere - exposed to radiation and temperature extremes (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature0
Inferno world - temperatures exceed all possibility of life (large moon stabilizes the axial tilt - steady seasons) (runaway tidal heating keeps the surface molten regardless of orbit)
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection (a large close moon may help stir the core dynamo (speculative))

Surface Characteristics
Molten surface with lava flows, volcanic activity everywhere
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Moon 2merged1.0% - 6.2 radii
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
