Gliese 180 (also GJ 180 ) is a red dwarf in the constellation Eridanus , which is around 39 light years from the sun . The star presumably has a planetary system with two known exoplanets . Like all red dwarfs, Gliese 180 is significantly poorer in mass and less luminous than the sun. Its mass is 43% of the solar mass , its luminosity 1.3% of the solar luminosity .
Planetary system
Based on measured data of the Échelle spectrograph HARPS and UVES the ESO , an international team of astronomers published under the direction of Mikko Tuomi from the University of Hertfordshire at the beginning of March 2014, the discovery of eight Exoplanetenkandidaten six sun near red dwarfs, including Gliese 180th
Both possible planets are super-earths with a minimum mass of 6.4 or 8.3 Earth masses , which orbit their central star in a little more than 17 or 24 days. According to the exploration team, at least the outer planet, Gliese 180 c , is in the star's habitable zone . According to the Planetary Hability Laboratory ( PHL ) of the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo , the inner planet Gliese 180 b could also orbit in the habitable zone of Gliese 180. Since only the minimum mass of the planet candidates is known, it cannot be said whether Gliese 180 b and c are actually rock planets or small gas planets .
