Gliese 514, also known as BD+11 2576 or HIP 65859, is a M-type main-sequence star, in the constellation Virgo 24.85 light-years away from the Sun.
[11] Gliese 514's metallicity Fe/H index is largely unknown, with median values from -0.4 to +0.18 reported in the literature.
The spectrum peculiarities also affect the accuracy of the star's temperature measurement,[9] with reported values as low as 2901 K.[7] The spectrum of Gliese 514 shows emission lines,[2] but the star itself has a low starspot activity.
Instead, in 2022, one Super-Earth planet, named Gliese 514 b, was discovered on an eccentric 140-day orbit by the radial velocity method.
The planetary orbit partially lies within the habitable zone of the parent star with planetary equilibrium temperature, averaged along orbit, equal to 202±11 K.[8] The infrared excess of the star also indicates the possible presence of a debris disk in the system, albeit at a low signal to noise ratio.
