Location of Gliese 752 in the constellation Aquila

Gliese 752 is a binary star system in the Aquila constellation. This system is relatively nearby, at a distance of 19.3 light-years (5.9 parsecs ).

Contents

The Gliese 752 system consists of two M-type stars. The primary star is the magnitude 9 Gliese (GJ) 752 A. The secondary star is the dim magnitude 17 Gliese (GJ) 752 B, more commonly referred to as VB 10 . This stellar pair form a binary star system separated by about 74 arc seconds (~434 AU). [8] This system is also known for its high proper motion of about 1 arc second a year. Component A has one known exoplanet.

The name and number are from the Catalogue of Nearby Stars , published by German astronomer Wilhelm Gliese in 1969. [12]

Gliese 752 A characteristics

The primary star, also known as Wolf 1055, is a type M2.5 red dwarf with about half the size and mass as the Sun and considerably cooler at 3,534±51  K . [2] This star was first observed to be a high proper motion star by the German astronomer Max Wolf with his pioneering use of astrophotography. He added this star to his extensive catalog of such stars in 1919. [13] It is a variable star with the variable star catalog name V1428 Aquilae. It is a BY Draconis type variable star subject to flare events. [5] [6]

Planetary system

In August 2018, a group of scientists using measurements taken from the CARMENES spectrograph, on the Calar Alto Observatory located in Spain, announced they had detected a planet orbiting the larger of the stars, HD 180617 (Gliese 752 A). The measurements indicated the presence of a planet with a minimum mass comparable to Neptune on an orbit partly located within the habitable zone. [9]

Gliese 752 B characteristics

Gliese 752 was not known to be a binary star system until the discovery of a small dim secondary star by George Van Biesbroeck in 1944. This star is identified as VB 10 in Van Biesbroeck's star catalog. This star is notable for its very low mass. At .08 solar masses, it is near the lower mass limit for a star. It is also quite small at 10% of the solar radius. [8] A type M8V red dwarf, the star is known for its very low luminosity (one of the least luminous stars yet observed) [14] with an absolute magnitude of nearly 19, due to its very cool surface temperature of only 2600K. [4] It is a variable star with the variable star catalog name V1298 Aquilae. This star is a UV Ceti type variable star also subject to flare events. It shares the large proper motion, along with the tendency to flare, with the primary star. [7]

In 2009, the discovery of the extrasolar planet, VB 10b, was announced in orbit around this star. [11] However a subsequent spectrographic survey failed to confirm the presence of any large planets in orbit around this star. [15]

Magnetic field

In 1994, the Hubble Space Telescope observed a solar flare on Gliese 752 B. This suggests that the star has a strong magnetic field, which came as a surprise to astronomers. It had previously been assumed that low mass red dwarfs would have insignificant or nonexistent magnetic fields. These tiny dwarfs are supposed to lack the radiative zone just outside the star's core that creates the magnetic field-creating dynamos in more massive stars like our Sun. Nevertheless, the detection of solar flares indicates that as yet unknown process allows low mass stars to produce sufficient magnetic fields to power such outbursts, even if solely by convection, without a radiative core. [16]

Tau Boötis, Latinised from τ Boötis, is an F-type main-sequence star approximately 51 light-years away in the constellation of Boötes. It is a binary star system, with the secondary star being a red dwarf. In 1999, an extrasolar planet was detected orbiting the primary star. In December 2020, astronomers may have observed, for the first time, radio emissions from a planet beyond the Solar System. According to the researchers: "The signal is from the Tau Boötis system, which contains a binary star and an exoplanet. We make the case for an emission by the planet itself."

Gliese 570 is a quaternary star system approximately 19 light-years away. The primary star is an orange dwarf star. The other secondary stars are themselves a binary system, two red dwarfs that orbit the primary star. A brown dwarf has been confirmed to be orbiting in the system. In 1998, an extrasolar planet was thought to orbit the primary star, but it was discounted in 2000.

Gliese 65, also known as Luyten 726-8, is a binary star system that is one of Earth's nearest neighbors, at about 8.7 light years from Earth in the constellation Cetus. The two component stars are both flare stars with the variable star designations BL Ceti and UV Ceti.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gliese 876</span> Star in the constellation Aquarius

Gliese 876 is a red dwarf star 15.2 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius. It is one of the closest known stars to the Sun confirmed to possess a planetary system with more than two planets, after GJ 1061, YZ Ceti, Tau Ceti, and Wolf 1061; as of 2018, four extrasolar planets have been found to orbit the star. The planetary system is also notable for the orbital properties of its planets. It is the only known system of orbital companions to exhibit a near-triple conjunction in the rare phenomenon of Laplace resonance. It is also the first extrasolar system around a normal star with measured coplanarity. While planets b and c are located in the system's habitable zone, they are giant planets believed to be analogous to Jupiter.

Based upon parallax measurements taken by the Gaia spacecraft, the system is located about 11.6 light-years from the Sun. This positions the pair among the nearest stars to the Solar System.

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

YZ Ceti is a red dwarf star in the constellation Cetus. Although it is relatively close to the Sun at just 12 light years, this star cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is classified as a flare star that undergoes intermittent fluctuations in luminosity. YZ Ceti is about 13 percent the mass of the Sun and 17% of its radius.

TZ Arietis is a red dwarf in the northern constellation of Aries. With a normal apparent visual magnitude of 12.3, it is too faint to be seen by the naked eye, although it lies relatively close to the Sun at a distance of 14.6 light-years. It is a flare star, which means it can suddenly increase in brightness for short periods of time.

HD 189733, also catalogued as V452 Vulpeculae, is a binary star system 64.5 light-years away in the constellation of Vulpecula. The primary star is suspected to be an orange dwarf star, while the secondary star is a red dwarf star.

VB 10 or Van Biesbroeck's star is a small and dim red dwarf located in the constellation Aquila. It is part of a binary star system. VB 10 is historically notable as it is one of the faintest known stars to exist. Although it is relatively close to Earth, at about 19 light years, VB 10 is a dim magnitude 17, making it difficult to image with amateur telescopes as it can get lost in the glare of the primary star.
