GJ 1132

GJ 1132 is a small red dwarf star 41.1 light-years (12.6 parsecs) away from Earth[1] in the constellation Vela.

[4] Despite its physical similarities to Earth, it is considered too hot to be habitable, getting 19 times more sunlight due to its 1.6 day orbital period.

[9][10][11] GJ 1132 c was reported by Bonfils and colleagues using the HARPS spectrograph on the ESO 3.6 m Telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile in June 2018.

No transits of the planet were found, but it has a minimum mass of about 2.6 ME and gets 1.9 times the amount of sunlight as Earth with an equilibrium temperature of 300 K (27 °C; 80 °F).

Despite the signal having a false alarm probability of less than 0.01%, comparable to GJ 1132 b and c, it is close to the period of the star's magnetic cycle.
