Gliese 282 is a star system composed of four stars in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros. At a distance of 46 light years, this star has an apparent magnitude of 7.26[ citation needed ] when viewed from Earth. It is not visible to the naked eye.
The Gl 282AB star system is composed of two K- type main-sequence stars. The primary component, Gliese 282A, is a BY Draconis type variable star with a stellar classification of K2V. It has an effective temperature of 4,956 K. The companion, Gliese 282B, is a smaller, class K5V star. As of 2003, the pair had an angular separation of 58.30 arc seconds along a position angle of 113°. [3] This is equivalent to a projected physical separation of 824 AU. [7]
There is a distant common proper motion companion (G 112-29) at an angular separation of 1.09°. At the estimated distance of Gl 282AB, this corresponds to a projected separation of 55,733 AU (0.88128 light-years), making it one of the widest known physical companions. Initially believed to be a red dwarf star with a stellar classification of M1.5Ve, [7] it turned out to be a pair of red dwarfs (Ca and Cb) with masses 0.55M☉ and 0.19M☉, orbiting each other on 6591+136
−177 days orbit. [14]
