==Properties==
==Properties==
AD Leonis is an [[M-type star]] with a [[spectral type]] M3.5eV, indicating it is a [[main sequence star]] that displays emission lines in its spectrum. At a trigonometric distance of {{convert|15.9|ly|pc|abbr=on}}, it has an apparent visual magnitude of 9.43.<ref name="RECONS" /><ref name=Pettersen/> It has about 39–42% of the [[solar mass|Sun's mass]] — above the mass at which a star is [[Convection zone|fully convective]]<ref name=aaa496_3_787/> — and 39% of the [[solar radius|Sun's radius]].<ref name="RECONS"/><ref name="apj692"/> The [[stellar rotation|projected rotation]] of this star is only 3&nbsp;km/s,<ref name="aaa467"/> but it completes a rotation once every 2.24&nbsp;days.<ref name=aaa496_3_787/> It is a relatively young star with an estimated age of 25–300&nbsp;million years,<ref name=apj699_1_649/> and is considered a member of the young disk population.<ref name=Sciortino/>

The variable nature of this star was first observed in 1949 by Katherine C. Gordon and Gerald E. Kron at [[Lick Observatory]].<ref name=pasp61_362_210/> AD&nbsp;Leonis is one of the most active [[flare star]]s known, and the emissions from the flares have been detected across the [[electromagnetic spectrum]] as high as the [[X-ray]] band.<ref name=apj674_2_1078/><ref name=Schmitt/> The net magnetic flux at the surface is about 3&nbsp;kG.<ref name="aaa467"/> Besides star spots, about 73% of the surface is covered by magnetically active regions.<ref name=aaa452_987/> Examination of the [[stellar corona|corona]] in X-ray shows compact loop structures that span up to 30% of the size of the star.<ref name=aaa454_3_889/> The average temperature of the corona is around 6.39&nbsp;[[Megakelvin|MK]].<ref name=aa578_A129/>

This star is orbiting through the [[Milky Way]] galaxy with an [[Orbital eccentricity|eccentricity]] of 0.028&nbsp;. This carries the star as close as 8.442&nbsp;kpc from the galactic core, and as far as 8.926&nbsp;kpc. The orbital [[inclination]] carries it as far as 0.121&nbsp;kpc from the plane of the galaxy.<ref name=rmaa34_37 />
During a 1943 [[proper motion]] study by [[Dirk Reuyl]] at [[McCormick Observatory]], it was suspected of having a companion. However, a 1968 study by [[Sarah L. Lippincott]] at [[Sproul Observatory]] was unable to confirm this result.<ref name=aj74_224/>
A 1997 search with a near-infrared speckle interferometer failed to detect a companion orbiting 1–10&nbsp;[[Astronomical Unit|AU]] from the star.<ref name=aaa325_159/> In 2001, an optical [[coronagraph]] was used to example the star, but no companion was found.<ref name=aj121_4_2189/> There is no sign of variability in its radial velocity, which would otherwise indicate the presence of an unseen companion.<ref name=Pettersen/>


In 2021, a [[superflare]] on AD Leo was observed simultaneously in X-ray by [[XMM-Newton]] and in optical by [[Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite|TESS]].<ref name="Stelzer2022"/>

==Search for planets==
==Planetary System==
During a 1943 [[proper motion]] study by [[Dirk Reuyl]] at [[McCormick Observatory]], AD Leonis was suspected of having a companion. However, a 1968 study by [[Sarah L. Lippincott]] at [[Sproul Observatory]] was unable to confirm this result.<ref name=aj74_224 />
In 2019 one candidate planet signal was detected by the [[radial velocity method]]<ref name=TuomiEtal2019/> but was refuted in 2020.<ref name=GAPS2020/>
A 1997 search with a near-infrared speckle interferometer failed to detect a companion orbiting 1–10&nbsp;[[Astronomical Unit|AU]] from the star.<ref name=aaa325_159 /> In 2001, an optical [[coronagraph]] was used to example the star, but no companion was found.<ref name=aj121_4_2189 /> As of 1981, there was no sign of variability in its radial velocity, which would otherwise indicate the presence of an unseen companion.<ref name=Pettersen />


In 2018, AD Leonis was found to have [[radial velocity]] variations with a period of 2.23 days. The star was found to rotate with the same period, suggesting that the stellar rotation may be the cause of the radial velocity signal, but it was thought possible that the signal was caused by a planet of {{Jupiter mass|0.24|link=y}} in a [[spin-orbit resonance]] with the star.<ref name="Tuomi2018"/> This was listed as a candidate planet in a 2019 [[preprint]].<ref name=TuomiEtal2019 /> However, subsequent studies starting in 2020 refuted the planet hypothesis, finding stellar activity to be the most likely explanation for the radial velocity variations.<ref name=GAPS2020 /><ref name="Carmona2023"/> A 2022 study confidently ruled out planets more massive than {{val|27|ul=Earth mass}} orbiting at the stellar rotation period, as well as planets more than {{Jupiter mass|3-6}} with periods up to 14 years.<ref name="Kossakowski2022"/>

Location of AD Leonis in the constellation Leo

AD Leonis (Gliese 388) is a red dwarf star. It is located relatively near the Sun, at a distance of 16.2 light-years (5.0 parsecs), in the constellation Leo. AD Leonis is a main sequence star with a spectral classification of M3.5V.[4] It is a flare star that undergoes random increases in luminosity.[5][8]

Properties[edit]

AD Leonis is an M-type star with a spectral type M3.5eV, indicating it is a main sequence star that displays emission lines in its spectrum. At a trigonometric distance of 16.2 ly (5.0 pc), it has an apparent visual magnitude of 9.43.[6][9] It has about 39–42% of the Sun's mass — above the mass at which a star is fully convective[10] — and 39% of the Sun's radius.[6][11] The projected rotation of this star is only 2.4 km/s, but it completes a rotation once every 2.227 days, indicating a relatively pole-on inclination of about 12.9°.[7] It is a relatively young star with an estimated age of 25–300 million years,[4] and is considered a member of the young disk population.[12]

The variable nature of this star was first observed in 1949 by Katherine C. Gordon and Gerald E. Kron at Lick Observatory.[13] AD Leonis is one of the most active flare stars known, and the emissions from the flares have been detected across the electromagnetic spectrum as high as the X-ray band.[14][15] The net magnetic flux at the surface is about 3 kG.[16] Besides star spots, about 73% of the surface is covered by magnetically active regions.[17] Examination of the corona in X-ray shows compact loop structures that span up to 30% of the size of the star.[18] The average temperature of the corona is around 6.39 MK.[19]

This star is orbiting through the Milky Way galaxy with an eccentricity of 0.028 . This carries the star as close as 8.442 kpc from the galactic core, and as far as 8.926 kpc. The orbital inclination carries it as far as 0.121 kpc from the plane of the galaxy.[20]

In 2021, a superflare on AD Leo was observed simultaneously in X-ray by XMM-Newton and in optical by TESS.[21]

Search for planets[edit]

During a 1943 proper motion study by Dirk Reuyl at McCormick Observatory, AD Leonis was suspected of having a companion. However, a 1968 study by Sarah L. Lippincott at Sproul Observatory was unable to confirm this result.[22] A 1997 search with a near-infrared speckle interferometer failed to detect a companion orbiting 1–10 AU from the star.[23] In 2001, an optical coronagraph was used to example the star, but no companion was found.[24] As of 1981, there was no sign of variability in its radial velocity, which would otherwise indicate the presence of an unseen companion.[9]

In 2018, AD Leonis was found to have radial velocity variations with a period of 2.23 days. The star was found to rotate with the same period, suggesting that the stellar rotation may be the cause of the radial velocity signal, but it was thought possible that the signal was caused by a planet of 0.24 MJ in a spin-orbit resonance with the star.[25] This was listed as a candidate planet in a 2019 preprint.[26] However, subsequent studies starting in 2020 refuted the planet hypothesis, finding stellar activity to be the most likely explanation for the radial velocity variations.[27][28] A 2022 study confidently ruled out planets more massive than 27 M🜨 orbiting at the stellar rotation period, as well as planets more than 3-6 MJ with periods up to 14 years.[7]
