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.

Planetary system

In September 2008, it was announced that a Jupiter-like planet 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. Among currently-known exoplanets, it would have an angular distance from its star second only to Epsilon Eridani b, although direct imaging is problematic due to the star–planet contrast.

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

X-ray source

Gliese 832 emits X-rays.
