Gliese 54 (GJ 54 / HIP 5496 / LHS 1208) [5] is a star near the Solar System located at 25.7 light years away. [2] It is located in the constellation of Tucana, close to the edge, almost in the neighboring Hydrus. It is below the threshold of brightness to be observable to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of +9.80. [5]
Gliese 54 is a red dwarf of spectral type M2 with an effective temperature of 4250 K. [6] In the SIMBAD database it appears listed as a variable star, getting the provisional variable designation NSV 427. [5] It has a companion with which it forms a binary system whose orbital period is 427 ± 9 days. The companion, a red dwarf whose brightness is ~1 magnitude lower than Gliese 54, has been resolved with the instrument NICMOS installed in the Hubble Space Telescope. [7]
The closest stars to Gliese 54 are Zeta Tucanae, a solar analog 3.1 light-years from it, and Beta Hydri, 5.1 light-years from it. [8]
Ross 248, also called HH Andromedae or Gliese 905, is a small star approximately 10.30 light-years from Earth in the northern constellation of Andromeda. Despite its proximity it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye. It was first catalogued by Frank Elmore Ross in 1926 with his second list of proper-motion stars; on which count it ranks 261st in the SIMBAD database. It was too dim to be included in the Hipparcos survey. In about 40,000 years, Voyager 2 will pass 1.7 light-years from the star.
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.
GJ 1245 is a double star with components G 208-44 and G 208-45, located 15.2 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. G 208-44 is itself a closer double star made up of two red dwarfs, while G 208-45 is also a red dwarf. GJ 1245 is the 43rd closest stellar system to the Solar System. GJ 1245 A and B are active flare stars, and the pair are collectively designated V1581 Cygni.
Gliese 849, or GJ 849, is a small, solitary star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. It has a reddish hue and is invisible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 10.41. The distance to this star is 28.8 light-years based on parallax, but it is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −15.3 km/s. It has a pair of confirmed gas giant companions.
Gliese 440, also known as LP 145-141 or LAWD 37, is an isolated white dwarf located 15.1 light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Musca. It is the fourth closest known white dwarf to the Sun, after Sirius B, Procyon B, and van Maanen's star.
Gliese 412 is a pair of stars that share a common proper motion through space and are thought to form a binary star system. The pair have an angular separation of 31.4″ at a position angle of 126.1°. They are located 15.8 light-years distant from the Sun in the constellation Ursa Major. Both components are relatively dim red dwarf stars.
Gliese 445 is an M-type main sequence star in the northern part of the constellation Camelopardalis.
Gliese 22, also catalogued V547 Cassiopeiae or ADS 440, is a hierarchical star system approximately 33 light-years away in the constellation of Cassiopeia. The system consists of pair of red dwarf stars, Gliese 22A and Gliese 22C, orbited by a third red dwarf Gliese 22B in an outer orbit of about 223 years.
Gliese 752 is a binary star system in the Aquila constellation. This system is relatively nearby, at a distance of 19.3 light-years.
Gliese 179 is a small red dwarf star with an exoplanetary companion in the equatorial constellation of Orion. It is much too faint to be visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 11.94. The system is located at a distance of 40.5 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of –9 km/s. It is a high proper motion star, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.370″·yr−1.
Gliese 754 is a dim star in the southern constellation of Telescopium. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 12.25, which requires a telescope to view. The star is located at a distance of 19.3 light-years from the Sun based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +7 km/s. It is one of the hundred closest stars to the Solar System. Calculations of its orbit around the Milky Way showed that it is eccentric, and indicate that it might be a thick disk object.
GJ 1005 is a system of two red dwarfs, located in constellation Cetus at 19.6 light-years from Earth. The primary star is a M4V class star while the secondary is a class M7V.
LHS 2090 is a red dwarf star of spectral type M6.5V, located in constellation Cancer at 20.8 light-years from Earth.
GJ 1128 is a red dwarf star of spectral type M4.0V, located in constellation Carina 21 light-years away from Earth. It is one of the closer stars to the Sun.
HU Delphini, also known as Gliese 791.2, is a star system in the constellation of Delphinus. Its apparent magnitude is 13.07. With a trigonometric parallax of 113.4 ± 0.2 mas, it is about 28.76 light-years away from the Solar System.
GL Virginis, also known as G 12-30, is a star in the constellation of Virgo. It is a faint red dwarf, like more than 70% of the stars located within 10 parsecs of the Solar System; its magnitude visual magnitude is 13.898, making it impossible to see with the naked eye.
LTT 1445 is a triple M-dwarf system 22.4 light-years distant in the constellation Eridanus. The primary LTT 1445 A hosts two exoplanets—one discovered in 2019 that transits the star every 5.36 days, and another found in 2021 that transits the star every 3.12 days, close to a 12:7 resonance. As of October 2022 it is the second closest transiting exoplanet system discovered, with the closest being HD 219134 bc.
Gliese 367 is a red dwarf star 30.7 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Vela. It is suspected to be a variable with amplitude 0.012 stellar magnitude and period 5.16 years. A stellar multiplicity survey in 2015 failed to detect any stellar companions to Gliese 367. It hosts three known exoplanets, Gliese 367 b, c & d.
