Gliese 877 (GJ 877 / HIP 113229 / LHS 531)[1] is a red dwarf located in the southern constellation of Octans, near the boundary with Indus.
[5] It shines with an apparent magnitude of +10.22, so it cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Nevertheless, it is considerably brighter than other red dwarfs, such as Proxima Centauri, the closest red dwarf to the Solar System; in particular, it is almost 14 times more luminous than Proxima.
Of spectral type M3V,[2] its effective temperature is 3390 K.[5] It does not appear to be a variable star.
[1] Known stars close to it are β Hydri and ζ Tucanae, respectively 4.5 and 6.2 light years.
