Gliese 402 is a BY Draconis variable, with its apparent magnitude varying between 11.64 and 11.70. The brightness changes are due to starspots and chromospheric activity combined with the rotation of the star. It has been given the variable star designation EE Leonis.[3]
Like the vast majority of stars in the Solar neighborhood, Gliese 402 is a dim red dwarf. With an apparent magnitude +11.66, it is far too dim to be seen with the naked eye; it can only be seen with a telescope. Its luminosity is only 0.091% that of the Sun.[12] Its spectral type is M4V (sometimes cited as M5V[citation needed]) and its effective temperature is about 3100 K. Its physical characteristics are quite similar to those of Ross 128 or Kruger 60 B, with a radius of about 30% of the Sun.[10] Its projected rotation speed is at most 2.3 km/s or less,[9] while its metallicity is slightly lower than that of the Sun.[9]
