Gliese 832 (Gl 832 or GJ 832) is a red dwarf (spectrum M1.5V) in the constellation Grus. It is located relatively close to the Sun, at a distance of 16.1 light years. Gliese 832 has about half the mass and radius of the Sun.

In 2014, Gliese 832 was announced to be hosting the closest potentially habitable Earth-mass range exoplanet to our solar system.

Planetary system

Gliese 832 hosts two known planets.

Discovery of Jupiter mass planet

In September 2008, it was announced that a Jupiter-like planet, now designated as Gliese 832 b, had been detected in a long-period, near-circular orbit around this star (false alarm probability thus far: a negligible 0.05%). It would induce an astrometric perturbation on its star of at least 0.95 milliarcseconds and is thus a good candidate for being detected by astrometric observations. Despite its relatively large angular distance, direct imaging is problematic due to the star–planet contrast.

Discovery of Gliese 832 c (super-Earth mass planet) in habitable zone

In 2014, a second planet was discovered by astronomers at the University of New South Wales. This one is believed to be of super-Earth mass and has since been given the scientific name Gliese 832 c. It was announced to orbit in the optimistic habitable zone but outside the conservative habitable zone of its parent star.

The planet is believed to be in, or very close to, the right distance from its sun to allow liquid water to exist on its surface.

Search for cometary disc

If this system has a comet disc, it is undetectable "brighter than the fractional dust luminosity 10" of a recent Herschel study.
