Gliese 832

Coordinates: 21h 33m 33.9752s, −49° 00′ 32.422″

Gliese 832 (Gl 832 or GJ 832) is a red dwarf of

spectral type M2V in the southern constellation
Gliese 832
Grus.[8] The apparent visual magnitude of
8.66[2] means that it is too faint to be seen with
the naked eye. It is located relatively close to the
Sun, at a distance of 16.2 light years[1] and has
a high proper motion of 818.16 milliarcseconds
per year.[1] Gliese 832 has just under half the
mass and radius of the Sun.[8] Its estimated
rotation period is a relatively leisurely
46 days.[3] The star is roughly 6 billion years
old.[6]

This star achieved perihelion some 52,920 years Gliese 832

ago when it came within an estimated 15.71 ly
(4.817 pc) of the Sun.[9]

Gliese 832 emits X-rays.[10] Despite the strong

flare activity, Gliese 832 is producing on
average less ionizing radiation than the Sun.

Gliese 832 b

In September 2008, it was announced that a Jupiter-like planet, designated Gliese 832 b, had been detected
in a long-period, near-circular orbit around this star, with a false alarm probability of a negligible 0.05%. It
would induce an astrometric perturbation on its star of at least 0.95 milliarcseconds and is thus a good
candidate for being detected by astrometric observations. Despite its relatively large angular distance, direct
imaging is problematic due to the star–planet contrast.[2] The orbital solution of the planet was refined in
2011.[13] In 2023, an astrometric detection of the planet was announced, determining its inclination and
revealing a true mass 80% the mass of Jupiter.[12]

Gliese 832 c

In 2014, a second planet, Gliese 832 c, was discovered by astronomers at the University of New South
Wales. This planet was believed to be of super-Earth mass.[8] It was announced to orbit in the optimistic
habitable zone but outside the conservative habitable zone of its parent star.[14] The planet Gliese 832 c was
believed to be in, or very close to, the right distance from its sun to allow liquid water to exist on its
surface.[8] However, doubts were raised about the existence of planet c by a 2015 study, which found that
its orbital period is close to the stellar rotation period.[3] The existence of the planet was refuted in 2022,
when a study found that the radial velocity signal shows characteristics of a signal originating from stellar
activity, and not from a planet.[6]

The region between Gliese 832 b and where Gliese 832 c would be is a zone where additional planets are
possible.[15]

Search for cometary disc

If this system has a comet disc, it is not "brighter than the fractional dust luminosity 10−5 " according to a
2012 Herschel study.[16]

magnitude of the Sun , the visual luminosity can be calculated by
