Database references SIMBAD data
Gliese 414 , also known as GJ 414 , is a binary system made up of an orange dwarf and a red dwarf , located about 39 light years from Earth, in the constellation Ursa Major .[ 6] [ note 1] With an apparent magnitude of 8.31, it is not visible to the naked eye .[ 4] [ 6] The primary component of the system has two known exoplanets .[ 7]
Characteristics
The main component of the system, Gliese 414 A, is a relatively active orange dwarf , about 68% the size of the Sun and 65% its mass.[ 2] Its age is estimated at 12.4 billion years, about two and a half times the age of the Solar System .[ 2] It is orbited by two known exoplanets, called Gliese 414 Ab and Gliese 414 Ac .
The secondary component, Gliese 414 B, is a red dwarf of type M2V, that is 55% the size of the Sun and 54% its mass.[ 2] Unlike its companion star, Gliese 414 B is not orbited by any known planets.[ 6]
The binary star system is located in the northern hemisphere , approximately 38.8 light years from Earth, in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major .[ 4] [ note 1] The closest star to the star system is CW Ursae Majoris, at a distance of 5.3 light-years.[ 6]

Planetary system
The primary star, Gliese 414 A, is orbited by two exoplanets.[ 2] They were discovered in 2020 by analyzing radial velocity data from Keck 's HIRES instrument and the Automated Planet Finder at Lick Observatory , as well as photometric data from KELT .[ 7] [ 8]
The innermost planet, Gliese 414 Ab , orbits its star at an average distance of 0.23 astronomical units , making it close to the optimistic habitable zone .[ 2] Its orbit is eccentric (e = 0.45), which causes the distance from its star to vary from 0.13 to 0.34 AU, and its equilibrium temperature is calculated at 36 °C.[ 2] With a minimum mass of 7.6 M E , it is likely to have a significant volatile -rich envelope, thus being a poor candidate for habitability.[ 2] [ 8]
The outermost planet, Gliese 414 Ac , is a super-Neptune that orbits its star at a greater distance of 1.4 astronomical units, which makes it a frigid planet, having an equilibrium temperature of about -150 °C.[ 2] It is a good candidate for future direct imaging missions.[ 2] [ 7] [ 8]
