Location of Gliese 754 in the constellationTelescopium

Gliese 754is a dimstarin the southernconstellationofTelescopium.It has anapparent visual magnitudeof 12.25,[2]which requires a telescope to view. The star is located at a distance of 19.3light-yearsfrom theSunbased onparallax,[1]and it is drifting further away with aradial velocityof +7 km/s.[3]It is one of the hundred closest stars to theSolar System.Calculations of its orbit around the Milky Way showed that it is eccentric, and indicate that it might be athick diskobject.[8]

Thestellar classificationof Gliese 754 is M4V,[2]indicating that this is a smallred dwarfstar on thecorehydrogen fusingmain sequence.It has 17% of themass of the Sunand 21% of theSun's radius.[3]The star is fullyconvectiveand is a source ofX-ray emission.[9]It is rotating slowly with a period of about 133 days.[3]Themetallicityis sub-solar,[6]indicating it has a lower abundance of heavy elements compared to the Sun. It is radiating just 0.5%[5]of theluminosity of the Sunfrom itsphotosphereat aneffective temperatureof around 3,202 K.[6]

Planetary System

[edit]

In June 2019, a candidateexoplanetwas reported in orbit around Gliese 754. It was detected using theDoppler methodand is orbiting at a distance of0.28AUwith aperiodof 78 days. The orbit is essentially circular, to within themargin of error.[10]Thehabitable zonefor this star ranges from0.05AUto0.14 AU;[5]inside the orbit of this proposed companion.
