Location of Gliese 754 in the constellation Telescopium |
Gliese 754 is a dim
apparent visual magnitude of 12.25,[2] which requires a telescope to view. The star is located at a distance of 19.3 light-years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +7 km/s.[3] It is one of the hundred closest stars to the Solar System. Calculations of its orbit around the Milky Way showed that it is eccentric, and indicate that it might be a thick disk object.[8]
The
Planetary System
In June 2019, a candidate exoplanet was reported in orbit around Gliese 754. It was detected using the Doppler method and is orbiting at a distance of 0.28 AU with a period of 78 days. The orbit is essentially circular, to within the margin of error.[10] The habitable zone for this star ranges from 0.05 AU to 0.14 AU;[5] inside the orbit of this proposed companion.
