Gliese 221 (GJ 221), also known as BD-06 1339, is a star with an exoplanetary companion in the equatorial constellation of Orion. It is too faint to be visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 9.70[2] and an absolute magnitude of 8.15.[4] Using parallax measurements, the distance to this system can be estimated as 66.2 light-years. It is receding from the Sun with a radial velocity of +23 km/s.[1] This is a high proper motion star, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.333″·yr−1.[7]

This is a late K-type or early M-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K7V/M0V.[3] It has 72% of the mass and 61% of the radius of the Sun.[5] The star is roughly 4.4[5] billion years old and is depleted in heavy elements, containing just 46% of solar abundance of iron.[5] It is an active star and the level of chromospheric activity has been found to vary significantly over time.[3] The star is radiating 10%[5] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,324 K.[5]

Planetary system

[edit]

From 2003 to 2012, the star was under observance from the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS). It is becoming less active and this reduced activity allowed for lower-mass planetary measurements to be made.

A super-Venus planet, and an eccentric Neptune / Saturn in the habitable zone, were deduced by radial velocity in January 2013.[8] They were confirmed in May 2013.[9] In January 2014, a candidate planet d was proposed.[10]

The planet Gliese 221b (BD-06 1339 b) is not transiting the disk of the parent star,[11] and its existence was disputed in 2022.[12]
