  1. estimated from apparent brightness and distance

Gliese 849 is a solar system with at least one exoplanet that was discovered in October 2006. The star is around 30  light years from Earth.

The star

Gliese 849 was discovered during the Bonn survey and was given the designation BD -5 ° 5715. The star is a red dwarf , has about a third of the mass of the sun and is about three billion years old. Compared to our sun , the star probably has significantly more heavy elements.

The planet

The planet around Gliese 849, systematically referred to as Gliese 849 b , has at least 82  percent of Jupiter's mass and orbits its star at an average distance of 2.35  astronomical units . Because the planet is so far from a fairly cold star, it is very cold there and the likelihood that life has evolved there is very small.
