Gliese 518 (WD 1334+039, LHS 46, G 062-053, Wolf 489) is a nearby degenerate star (white dwarf) of spectral class DZ10.0^[2]^[3]), the single known component of the system, located in the constellation Template:Constel.

Distance

Gliese 518, probably, is the 12th closest white dwarf, or, possibly, 9th–14th (see Gliese 293, GJ 1087, Gliese 915, GJ 1276 and Gliese 318). Its trigonometric parallax from YPC (Yale Parallax Catalog) is 121.4 ± 3.4 mas,^[4] corresponding to a distance 8.24 ± 0.23 pc, or 26.87 ± 0.75 ly.

Gliese 518 parallax data

Source	Paper	Parallax, mas	Distance, pc	Distance, ly	Ref.
Woolley (1970)	Woolley et al., 1970	135 ± 12	7.4 ± 0.7	24.2 ± 2.1	^[5]
GJ, 3rd version	Gliese, Jahreiss, 1991	122.2 ± 3.9	8.18 ± 0.26	26.69 ± 0.85	^[6]
YPC, 4th edition	van Altena et al., 1995	121.4 ± 3.4	8.24 ± 0.23	26.87 ± 0.75	^[4]

Physical parameters

Gliese 518's mass is 0.55 ± 0.03 Solar masses,^[2] its surface gravity is 10^{7.95 ± 0.02} (8.91 · 10⁷) cm·s⁻²,^[2] or approximately 91 000 of Earth's, corresponding to a radius 9089 km, or 143 % of Earth's.

Gliese 518's temperature is 5030 ± 120 K^[2] (comparable with that of early K-type main sequence stars); its cooling age, i. e. age as degenerate star (not including lifetime as main sequence star and as giant star) is 5.19 Gyr.^[3] Despite Gliese 518 is classified as "white dwarf", it is not actually white, due low temperature, and should appear the same color as K-type main sequence stars, sometimes referred to as "orange dwarfs".

Notes

^ From apparent magnitude and parallax.
^ From surface gravity and mass.
^ White dwarf cooling age, i. e. age as degenerate star (not including lifetime as main sequence star and as giant star)
