History of observations

According to Luyten's (1979) (catalogue LHS, as well as NLTT), this object was discovered by Innes. [8] [9] In 1903–1927 Innes was the director of the Union Observatory (UO), South Africa.

However, in the Ci 20 catalogue (see number 934) this star was designated as "CD -40 7021", not "UO". [10] This may indicate that GJ 588 was first catalogued earlier, in the Cordoba Durchmusterung by John M. Thome in 1894. [11] [12] Note: the real CD designation of Gliese 588 is "CD-40 9712", [13] not "CD -40 7021": [10] GJ 588 has a RA of 15 hours, but the real CD -40 7021 has a RA of 11 hours. [14] [11]

Planetary system

On 11 June 2019, two planets were detected by radial velocity around Gliese 588 among other 118 planets around M dwarf stars. [15]

Gliese 65, also known as Luyten 726-8, is a binary star system that is one of Earth's nearest neighbors, at 8.8 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cetus. The two component stars are both flare stars with the variable star designations BL Ceti and UV Ceti.

Gliese 1 is a red dwarf in the constellation Sculptor, which is found in the southern celestial hemisphere. It is one of the closest stars to the Sun, at a distance of 14.2 light years. Because of its proximity to the Earth it is a frequent object of study and much is known about its physical properties and composition. However, with an apparent magnitude of about 8.6 it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.

Gliese 674(GJ 674) is a small red dwarf star with an exoplanetary companion in the southern constellation of Ara. It is too faint to be visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 9.38 and an absolute magnitude of 11.09. The system is located at a distance of 14.8 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −2.9 km/s. It is a candidate member of the 200 million year old Castor stream of co-moving stars.

HIP 5158 is a star with a pair of orbiting substellar companions, located in the equatorial constellation of Cetus, the whale. It has the older designation CD-23 395, which is derived from the Cordoba Durchmusterung catalogue of southern stars. Based on parallax measurements, it is located 169 light years from the Sun. It has an absolute magnitude of 7.11, but at that distance the star has an apparent visual magnitude of 10.16, which is too dim to be visible to the naked eye. The system is receding with a radial velocity of 15.3 km/s, and it has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.205″·yr−1.

GJ 1062 is a single red dwarf star in the constellation Eridanus, positioned about two degrees to the SSE of Epsilon Eridani. It is also known as LHS 20 and Ross 578. The star is invisible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +13.0, requiring a telescope with at least a 25 cm (10 in) aperture to view. It is located at a distance of 52.7 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −85 km/s. The star has a high proper motion, traversing the sky at the rate of 3.033 arcseconds per year.

It is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.96. Gliese 784 is located at a distance of 20.1 light-years from the Sun as determined from parallax measurements, and is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −33.5 km/s. The system is predicted to come as close as 11.4 light-years in ~121,700 years time.
