GJ 3323(also known as LHS 1723) is a nearby single[7]starlocated in theequatorialconstellationEridanus,about 0.4° to the northwest of the naked eye starPsi Eridani.[8]It is invisible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitude12.20.[2]Parallaxmeasurements give a distance estimate of 17.5light-years(5.4parsecs) from theSun.[1]It is drifting further away with aradial velocityof +42.3 km/s.[2]Roughly 104,000 years ago, the star is believed to have come to within 7.34 ± 0.16 light-years of theSolar System.[9]

Thestellar classificationof GJ 3323 is M4.0Ve,[3]indicating that it is ared dwarf,withemission linesappearing in itsspectrum.[2]It is fully convective and a source ofX-ray emission.[5]The star has 17% of theSun's mass,19% of theradius of the Sun,and just 0.4% of theSun's luminosity.[4]

History of observations

[edit]

The discovery name of this star isLP656-38,[10]which indicates that its discovery was published between 1963 and 1981 inUniversity of Minnesota,Minneapolis.[11]"LP" means "Luyten,Palomar".

GJ 3323 is known at least from 1979, when catalogues of high proper motion objectsLHSandNLTTwere published byWillem Jacob Luyten,and this object was included to these catalogues.[12][13]

Distance measurement

[edit]

In 1982,Wilhelm Gliesepublished a photometric distance of GJ 3323 (161mas),[14]and in 1991 it was included in the 3rd preliminary version of catalogue of nearby stars byGlieseandJahreissas NN 3323 (also designated as GJ 3323) with photometric parallax163.0±26.0mas.[15]

Its trigonometric parallax remained unknown until 2006, when it was published by theRECONSteam. The parallax was187.92±1.26 mas.[16]

Planetary system

[edit]

On March 15, 2017, two planets orbiting GJ 3323 were detected by theHARPS telescope,although the discovery team considers GJ 3323 c a planet candidate.[7]The inner planet, GJ 3323 b, may orbit within thecircumstellar habitable zoneof its star.[17]
