Gliese 877(GJ 877 /HIP113229 /LHS531)[1]is ared dwarflocated in the southernconstellationofOctans,near the boundary withIndus.
Gliese 877's bolometric luminosity is just 2.3% of the Sun's.[5]It shines with anapparent magnitudeof +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.[2]
Gliese 877 is 28.1 light years from the Solar System.[1]Known stars close to it areβ Hydriandζ Tucanae,respectively 4.5 and 6.2 light years.[6]
