GJ 625 (AC 54 1646-56) is a small
This is an
magnetic activity level.[6] The star has about a quarter of the mass and size of the Sun,[4] and the metal content is 40% the abundances in the Sun's atmosphere. It is radiating just 1.5% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,557 K.[7]
Planetary system
On May 18, 2017, a planet was detected orbiting GJ 625 by the
circumstellar habitable zone of its star, and the discoverers speculate it may support liquid water, depending on atmospheric conditions.[6] Based on the habitable zone model of Kopparapu et al. 2013, the planet is not considered to be in the habitable zone as it would likely experience a runaway greenhouse effect, similar to Venus.[9][10][11][12]
Since the star is considered quiescent (having a low X-ray emission and flare rate), the radio emission from the system may be auroral in nature and coming from a short-period planet. Further observations will be needed to confirm this.[13]
