GJ 357 (Gliese 357) is an M-type main sequence star with an unusually low star spot activity. [9] It is located 31 light-years from the Solar System, [10] in the Hydra constellation. [10]

Planetary system

The star has three confirmed exoplanets in its orbit. [11] One of these, Gliese 357 d, is considered to be a "super-Earth" within the circumstellar habitable zone. [12] [10] [13] [14]

Transiting planets b and c are close to 3:7 mean-motion resonance. Presuming resonance chain extends to the outermost, cold, possibly terrestrial Gliese 357 d and the resonances are simple. Transmission spectroscopy of the planet b with JWST in 2025 found no clear evidence for atmospheric molecules, although a secondary atmosphere is considered likely to exist. [15] Similarly, another 2025 analysis of the JWST transmission spectrum found no atmospheric molecules, but was able to rule out an atmosphere composed mainly of low-molar mass molecules (less than 8 g/mol) and an abundance of metals less than 300 times that of the Sun. [16]
