Star in the constellation Eridanus
GJ 3323 (also known as LHS 1723) is a nearby single[ 7] star located in theequatorial constellation Eridanus , about 0.4° to the northwest of the naked eye starPsi Eridani .[ 8] It is invisible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitude 12.20.[ 2] Parallax measurements give a distance estimate of 17.5light-years (5.4parsecs ) from theSun .[ 1] It is drifting further away with aradial velocity of +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 classification of GJ 3323 is M4.0Ve,[ 3] indicating that it is ared dwarf , withemission lines appearing 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 isLP 656-38,[ 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 objectsLHS andNLTT were published byWillem Jacob Luyten , and this object was included to these catalogues.[ 12] [ 13]
Distance measurement [ edit ] In 1982,Wilhelm Gliese published a photometric distance of GJ 3323 (161mas ),[ 14] and in 1991 it was included in the 3rd preliminary version of catalogue of nearby stars byGliese andJahreiss as NN 3323 (also designated as GJ 3323) with photometric parallax 163.0± 26.0 mas .[ 15]
Its trigonometric parallax remained unknown until 2006, when it was published by theRECONS team. The parallax was 187.92± 1.26 mas .[ 16]
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 zone of its star.[ 17]
