Lacaille 9352
Location of Lacaille 9352 in the constellation Piscis Austrinus

Lacaille 9352 (Lac 9352) is a red dwarf star in the southern constellation of Piscis Austrinus. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.34, [2] this star is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye except possibly under excellent seeing conditions. Parallax measurements place it at a distance of about 10.74 light-years (3.29 parsecs ) from Earth. [12] It is the eleventh closest star system to the Solar System [13] and is the closest star in the constellation Piscis Austrinus. The ChView simulation [14] shows that its closest neighbour is the EZ Aquarii triple star system at about 4.1 ly away.

Properties

This star has the fourth highest known proper motion, [15] (which was first noticed by Benjamin Gould in 1881 [16] ) moving a total of 6.9 arcseconds per year. However, this is still a very small movement overall, as there are 3,600 arcseconds in a degree of arc. The space velocity components of this star are (U, V, W) = (−93.9, −14.1, −51.4) km/s. [17] If the radial velocity (Vr) equals +9.7 km/s then about 2,700 years ago Lacaille 9352 was at its minimal distance of approximately 10.63 ly (3.26 pc) from the Sun. [18]

The spectrum of Lacaille 9352 places it at a stellar classification of M0.5V, [3] indicating it is a type of main sequence star known as a red dwarf. This was the first red dwarf star to have its angular diameter measured, [19] with the physical diameter being about 47% of the Sun's radius. [6] It has around half the mass of the Sun [3] and the outer envelope has an effective temperature of about 3,670 K. [6]

Planetary system

In June 2020, two super-Earth planets were reported, as well as a third signal with a period of 50.7 days that may be due to stellar activity—however, if this planet is real it may be located within the habitable zone. They were detected using the radial velocity method from observations with HARPS in Chile and HIRES in Hawaii. [20] [21]

Microscopium is a minor constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere, one of twelve created in the 18th century by French astronomer Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille and one of several depicting scientific instruments. The name is a Latinised form of the Greek word for microscope. Its stars are faint and hardly visible from most of the non-tropical Northern Hemisphere.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Piscis Austrinus</span> Constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere

Piscis Austrinus is a constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere. The name is Latin for "the southern fish", in contrast with the larger constellation Pisces, which represents a pair of fish. Before the 20th century, it was also known as Piscis Notius. Piscis Austrinus was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. The stars of the modern constellation Grus once formed the "tail" of Piscis Austrinus. In 1597, Petrus Plancius carved out a separate constellation and named it after the crane.
