Gliese 176 is a small star with an orbiting exoplanet in the constellation of Taurus. With an apparent visual magnitude of 9.95,[2] it is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. It is located at a distance of 30.9 light years based on parallax measurements,[1] and is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 26.4 km/s.[3]
This is an M-type main-sequence star, sometimes called a red dwarf, with a stellar classification of M2V.[3] It has 49% of the Sun's mass and 47% of the radius of the Sun. The star is radiating just 3.5% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,632 K. It is estimated to be around nine billion years old,[5] and is spinning slowly with a rotation period of 40 days. The star is orbited by a Super-Earth.
