Gliese 674

Gliese 674 (GJ 674) is a small red dwarf star with an exoplanetary companion in the southern constellation of Ara.

[2] The system is located at a distance of 14.85 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −2.9 km/s.

GJ 674 is at an intermediate stage of spin-down with a rotation period of 33.4 days, suggesting an age of up to a few billion years.

[11] It is smaller and less massive than the Sun, and is radiating just 1.6%[8] of the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,404 K.[6] On January 7, 2007, Bonfils et al. used the HARPS spectrograph in ESO and found an intermediate mass planet orbiting close to the red dwarf star in an eccentric orbit.

[8] This system is a promising candidate for detecting radio emission caused by interaction between the planet and the stellar wind.
