  1. Gliese 667 - Wikipedia

    Gliese 667 (142 G. Scorpii) is a triple- star system in the constellation Scorpius lying at a distance of about 7.2 parsecs (23 light-years) from Earth. All three of the stars have masses smaller than the Sun. To the naked eye, the system appears to be a single faint star of magnitude 5.89.

  2. Gliese 667 Cc - Wikipedia

    Gliese 667 Cc (also known as GJ 667 Cc, HR 6426 Cc, or HD 156384 Cc) [2] is an exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 667 C, which is a member of the Gliese 667 triple star system, approximately 23.62 light-years (7.24 parsecs; 223.5 trillion kilometres) away in the constellation of Scorpius.

  3. GJ 667 C c - Science@NASA

    Oct 24, 2024 · GJ 667 C c is a super Earth exoplanet that orbits a M-type star. Its mass is 3.8 Earths, it takes 28.1 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.125 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in 2013.

  4. Potentially Habitable Planets of Star Gliese 667C Explained ...

    Jun 25, 2013 · Gliese 667C is a well-studied nearby star, one component of a triple-star system. At least six planets orbit the star, three of them within the habitable zone where liquid surface water can exist.

  5. Life on Gliese 667Cc? - Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics - UiO

    Feb 17, 2012 · With an effective temperature of 3400 °C on its surface, the host star GJ667C is much cooler than our Sun, which has a surface temperature of 5500 °C. This red dwarf star therefore emits much less radiation than the Sun, reaching a luminosity of only just over one percent of the solar value.

  6. More on stellar activity: an investigation of Gliese 667C

    Sep 1, 2014 · Gliese 667C, or GJ 667C, is an M dwarf star that is part of a triple star system about 22 light-years away from Earth. It is a distant companion to GJ 667AB, a binary pair of more massive stars. In 2013, astronomers using the HARPS spectrograph discovered a pair of planets around this star–GJ 667Cb and GJ 667Cc.

  7. Three Planets in Habitable Zone of Nearby Star | ESO

    Jun 25, 2013 · A team of astronomers has combined new observations of Gliese 667C with existing data from HARPS at ESO’s 3.6-metre telescope in Chile, to reveal a system with at least six planets.
