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.[2] The distance to this star is 28.8 light-years (8.8 parsecs) based on parallax,[1] but it is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −15.3 km/s.[2] It has a pair of confirmed gas giant companions.[8]

The stellar classification of GJ 849 is M3.5V,[4] which means this is a small red dwarf star generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core region. Various studies have found super-solar abundances in the spectra,[8] indicating that the elemental abundances of higher mass elements is significantly higher than in the Sun. The star has about half the mass and size of the Sun,[3] and is spinning slowly with a rotation period of approximately 39 days.[9] The estimated age of the star is more than three billion years.[3] It is radiating a mere 2.9%[5] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,490 K.[5]
Planetary system
editIn late 2006, a long-period Jupiter-like exoplanet was reported to be orbiting the red dwarf in a period just over 5 years in length. There was also a linear trend in the radial velocities which suggested another longer period companion.[3] The trend in the radial velocities was confirmed in 2013.[10] An orbit for the second exoplanet was finally determined in 2015. The first planet discovered, Gliese 849 b, was the first planet discovered orbiting a red dwarf with a semi-major axis greater than 0.21 AU.[8]
