Gliese 412 is a binary star system in the constellation Ursa Major. Among the nearest stars, they lie at a distance of Script error: No such module "convert".. The pair have an angular separation of 31.4″ at a position angle of 126.1°.[16] Both components are relatively dim red dwarf stars.

History of observations

This system, also known as Lalande 21258, was announced in 1860 as a high apparent proper motion star by Friedrich Wilhelm Argelander as a result of work on the Bonner Durchmusterung (BD).[17] Adalbert Krueger, an assistant to the BD project, was tasked with measuring its parallax. In Krueger's paper reporting the result, he dubbed it Argelander's Third Star.[18]

The primary star was monitored for radial velocity (RV) variations caused by a Jupiter-mass companion in a short-period orbit. It displayed no significant excess of RV variation that could be attributed to a planet.[19] A search of the system using near-infrared speckle interferometry also failed to detect a companion orbiting at distances of 1–10 AU.[20] Nor has a brown dwarf been detected orbiting within this system.[21]

Characteristics

The two stellar components of this system have a projected separation of about 152 AU, and an estimated orbital semimajor axis of 190 AU.[22]

The primary has 0.387 times the mass of the Sun, 0.398 times the Sun's radius and 2.23% of the Sun's luminosity.[10] It is spinning at a rotation velocity at the equator of less than 3 km/s.[12] The secondary is smaller and fainter, at 9.52% of the Sun's mass, 12.62% of the Sun's radius[13] and luminosity only 0.09% solar.[14] It is spinning at a rotation velocity of Script error: No such module "val". km/s.[12] Gliese 412 A has a temperature of 3,639Script error: No such module "String".K,[10] while Gliese 412 B has 2,863 K.[13]

The space velocity components of this system are U = 141, V = –7 and W = 7. They are members of the halo population of the Milky Way galaxy.[12]

X-ray source

The secondary is a flare star that is referred to as WX Ursae Majoris. It is characterized as a UV Ceti-type variable star that displays infrequent increases in luminosity. This star was observed to flare as early as 1939 by the Dutch astronomer Adriaan van Maanen.[23]

Component B (WX Ursae Majoris) has been identified as an X-ray source, while no significant X-ray emission was detected from component A.[24] This system had not been studied in X-rays prior to ROSAT.[24]
