GJ 1132 is a small red dwarf star 41.1 light-years (12.6 parsecs ) away from Earth [1] in the constellation Vela. In 2015, it was revealed to have a hot rocky Earth-sized planet orbiting it every 1.6 days. [6] In 2018, a second planet and a potential third were revealed. [4]

Planetary system

As of June 12, 2018, there are two confirmed exoplanets and one candidate exoplanet orbiting GJ 1132.

GJ 1132 b

GJ 1132 b is the innermost planet of the GJ 1132 system, as well as the smallest. It is very similar in size and mass to Earth, with a radius of 1.13 R🜨 and a mass of 1.66 MEarth. It is slightly denser than Earth with 30% more surface gravity, meaning it has a rocky composition. [4] Despite its physical similarities to Earth, it is considered too hot to be habitable, getting 19 times more sunlight due to its 1.6 day orbital period. As of 2022, it remains unclear whether the planet has an atmosphere, with some studies finding evidence for an atmosphere, [7] [8] but others finding a flat, featureless spectrum that leaves the presence or absence of an atmosphere inconclusive. [9] [10] [11]

GJ 1132 c

GJ 1132 c was reported by Bonfils and colleagues using the HARPS spectrograph on the ESO 3.6 m Telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile in June 2018. No transits of the planet were found, but it has a minimum mass of about 2.6 MEarth and gets 1.9 times the amount of sunlight as Earth with an equilibrium temperature of 300 K (27 °C; 80 °F). It orbits outside the inner limit of GJ 1132's habitable zone (which ends at 1.6 times the stellar flux of Earth), but because the exact characteristics of the planet's atmosphere are unknown, it has been mentioned that it could still be potentially habitable. However, with a lack of transits, determining its atmospheric characteristics will be extremely difficult. [4]

GJ 1132 d

An unconfirmed cold super-Earth candidate was also detected, with a minimum mass of about 8.4 MEarth and a low equilibrium temperature of 111 K (−162 °C; −260 °F). It has been designated GJ 1132 (d) with parenthesis because it is not considered a confirmed planet. Despite the signal having a false alarm probability of less than 0.01%, comparable to GJ 1132 b and c, it is close to the period of the star's magnetic cycle. [4]

GJ 1061 is a red dwarf star located 12 light-years from Earth in the southern constellation of Horologium. Even though it is a relatively nearby star, it has an apparent visual magnitude of about 13, so it can only be seen with at least a moderately-sized telescope.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">HD 219134</span> Star in the constellation Cassiopeia

HD 219134 is a main-sequence star in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is smaller and less luminous than the Sun, with a spectral class of K3V, which makes it an orange-hued star. HD 219134 is relatively close to our system, with an estimated distance of 21.34 light years. This star is close to the limit of apparent magnitude that can still be seen by the unaided eye. The limit is considered to be magnitude 6 for most observers. This star has a magnitude 9.4 optical companion at an angular separation of 106.6 arcseconds.

The MEarth Project is a United States NSF-funded robotic exoplanet observatory that is part of the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory on Mount Hopkins. The project monitors the brightness of thousands of red dwarf stars with the goal of finding transiting planets. As red dwarf stars are small, any transiting planet blocks a larger proportion of starlight than transits around a Sun-like star would, allowing smaller planets to be detected through ground-based observations.

GJ 1214 is a dim M4.5 red dwarf star in the constellation Ophiuchus with an apparent magnitude of 14.7. It is located at a distance of 47.8 light-years from Earth. GJ 1214 hosts one known exoplanet.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gliese 180</span> Star in the constellation Eridanus

Gliese 180, is a small red dwarf star in the equatorial constellation of Eridanus. It is invisible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 10.9. The star is located at a distance of 39 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −14.6 km/s. It has a high proper motion, traversing the sky at the rate of 0.765 arcseconds per year.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">GJ 1132 b</span> Terrestrial exoplanet orbiting GJ 1132

GJ 1132 b is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star GJ 1132 41 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Vela. The planet is considered uninhabitable but cool enough to possess an atmosphere. GJ 1132 b was discovered by the MEarth-South array in Chile.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">LHS 1140</span> Star in the constellation Cetus

LHS 1140 is a red dwarf in the constellation of Cetus. Based on stellar parallax measurement, it is 48.8 light-years away from the Sun. 'LHS' refers to the Luyten Half-Second Catalogue of stars with proper motions exceeding half a second of arc annually. The star is over 5 billion years old and has only about 18% the mass of the Sun and 21% of its radius. LHS 1140's rotational period is 130 days. No flares have been observed.

GJ 9827 is a star in the constellation of Pisces. It is a K-type main-sequence star with an apparent magnitude of 10.250. It is 97 light-years away, based on parallax.

WASP-47 is a star similar in size and brightness to the Sun about 870 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius. It lies within the Kepler K2 campaign field 3. It was first noticed to have a hot Jupiter exoplanet orbiting every 4 days in 2012 by the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) team. While it was thought to be a typical hot Jupiter system, three more planets were found in 2015: an outer gas giant within the habitable zone, a hot Neptune exterior to the hot Jupiter's orbit and a super-Earth interior to the hot Jupiter's orbit. WASP-47 is the only planetary system known to have both planets near the hot Jupiter and another planet much further out.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">K2-138</span> Star in the constellation Aquarius

K2-138, also designated EPIC 245950175 or EE-1, is a large early K-type main sequence star with a system of at least 6 planets discovered by citizen scientists. Four were found in the first two days of the Exoplanet Explorers project on Zooniverse in early April 2017, while two more were revealed in further analysis. The system is about 660 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius, within K2 Campaign 12.

HD 3167 is a single, orange-hued star in the zodiac constellation of Pisces that hosts a system with three exoplanets. The star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.97. The distance to HD 3167 can be determined from its annual parallax shift of 21.1363 mas as measured by the Gaia space observatory, yielding a range of 154 light years. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.204″ per year. Since it was first photographed during the Palomar observatory sky survey in 1953, it had moved over 12.5″ by 2017. The star is moving away from the Earth with an average heliocentric radial velocity of +19.5 km/s.
