Gliese 328, also known as BD+02 2098, is a M-type main-sequence star located 66.9 light-years (20.5 parsecs) away in the constellation Hydra. Its surface temperature is 3989 K. Gliese 328 is depleted in heavy elements compared to the Sun, with a metallicity Fe/H index of −0.13.[5] The age of the star is unknown. Gliese 328 exhibits an activity cycle similar to that of the Sun, with a period around 2000 d.[4]
Multiplicity surveys did not detect any stellar companions as of 2016.[6]
Planetary system
In 2013, one superjovian planet, named Gliese 328 b, was discovered on a wide, eccentric orbit by the radial velocity method.[7] The known planetary orbit is wide enough to not disrupt orbits of other bodies in the habitable zone of the star.[8] In 2023, a second, Neptune-mass planet was discovered orbiting closer to the star.[2]
