Gliese 649 is a small

light years based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 3.8 km/s.[2]

This is an

rotation period of 24.9 days.[3]

Planetary system

A Saturn-mass planet was detected around the red dwarf star by J. A. Johnson and associates in 2010.

apastron
positions of 0.8 and 1.49 AU respectively, the planet could likely show seasonal temperature changes.

Debris disk

Using results from the Herschel Space Observatory survey of 21 late-type stars carried out in 2010, a debris disk was discovered between approximately 6 and 30 AU. The disk was not detected at 22µm by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer so therefore it is likely to be below 100 Kelvin and similar to the Kuiper belt. The disk was marginally resolved, appearing very asymmetric, and so is probably consistent with being closer to edge-on, rather than face-on, in its inclination.[8]
