Gliese 806
Red dwarf star in the northern constellation of Cygnus
Gliese 806 is a star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, located about a degree to the southeast of the bright star Deneb.[9] It is invisible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +10.79.[2] The star is located at a distance of 39.3 light years from the Sun based on stellar parallax.[1] It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −24.6 km/s, and is predicted to come to within 30.1 light-years in ~198,600 years.[10] The star hosts two known planetary companions.[4]
The stellar classification of Gliese 806 is dM1.5,[3] which indicates this is a small red dwarf star – an M-type main-sequence star that is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion. It is roughly three[6] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 0.46 km/s.[5] The star has 42% of the mass and radius of the Sun. It is radiating 0.3% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,586 K.[3]
