Gliese 2 is a red dwarf star in the constellation Andromeda. [1] The star is located at 11.5 parsecs (38 light-years ) from Earth. It is often associated with the binary star system ADS 48, with a similar distance and proper motions with this system, suggesting both may be gravitationally bound. However, it is moving faster than the escape velocity of the system, and its velocity is much faster than expected for a bound star, and thus it is not considered a companion of ADS 48. [10]
