Gliese 22, also catalogued V547 Cassiopeiae or ADS 440, is a hierarchical star system approximately 33 light-years away in the constellation of Cassiopeia. The system consists of pair of red dwarf stars, Gliese 22A and Gliese 22C, orbited by a third red dwarf Gliese 22B in an outer orbit of about 223 years.

The discovery of flare activity on Gliese 22A was announced by Bjørn Ragnvald Pettersen in 1975,[1] which led to it being given a variable star designation, V547 Cassiopeiae, in 1977.[11]
