Gliese 752 is a binary star system about 19 light years away in the Aquila constellation.[5] This system consists of two M-type stars. The primary star is the magnitude 9 Gliese (GJ) 752 A. The secondary star is the magnitude 17 Gliese (GJ) 752 B. This stellar pair form a astrometric binary star system separated by about 74 arc seconds (~434 AU).[6]
Gliese 752 A characteristics
The primary star, also known as Wolf 1055, is identified as a BY Draconis type variable star and is subject to flare events.[3] This star is also known for its high proper motion of about 1 arc second a year.[1]
Gliese 752 B characteristics
Gliese 752 was not known to be a binary star system until the discovery of Gliese 752 B (Van Biesbroeck's Star) by George Van Biesbroeck in 1944. He identified this star as VB 10 in his catalog. This star is notable for its .08 solar mass, near the lower mass limit for a star.[6]
This star is also known for its very low luminosity, with an absolute magnitude of nearly 19, making it very difficult to detect even with a large telescope.[2] It is identified as UV Ceti type variable star and is also subject to flare events. [4]
In 2009 a unique planetary system was announced around this star.[7]
