Struve 2398 (Gliese 725) is a

closest to the Sun. Parallax measurements by the Gaia spacecraft give them an estimated distance of 11.5 light-years (3.5 parsecs
) away.

Both stars are small

The pair has a relatively high proper motion of 2.2 arc seconds per year. The system is on an orbit through the Milky Way that has an eccentricity of 0.05, carrying them as close as 8 kpc and as far as 9 kpc from the Galactic Center. The plane of their galactic orbit carries them as far as 463−489 pc away from the galactic plane.[11]

Planetary system

In 2016, a planet candidate on a 2.7-day orbit was proposed around Struve 2398 B, although the signal was found to be comparable with an instrumental noise floor.

radial velocity method, without detection of the previous candidate.[13]
