Gliese 417 is a main sequence star of the spectral class G0 in the constellation Great Bear . It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.4 mag and is about 70 light years from Earth. The star has a companion with the systematic designation Gliese 417 B , which is probably a double system of two orbiting brown dwarfs .
companion
Gliese 417 B is 90 ″ (approx. 2000 AU ) away from the central star and, as seen from Earth, is southwest of it (position angle 245 °). A study published in 2003 by Bouy et al. showed that Gliese 417 B could be two orbiting L-dwarfs with an angular distance of approx. 70 mas (approx. 2 AU).
