Star in the constellation of Sculptor
Gliese 42 is a star in the southern constellation of Sculptor . It is too faint to be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of +7.3.[ 1] The annual parallax shift of 70.56 mas provides a distance estimate of 46 light years . It has a relatively high proper motion , advancing 0.62[ 10] arcseconds across the sky per annum, and is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −13 km/s.[ 3]
The spectrum of the star matches a stellar classification of K2.5 V (k) ,[ 2] indicating it is an ordinary K-type main-sequence star that is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core . It is radiating 29%[ 5] of the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,822 K.[ 2] The star has 66%[ 6] of the Sun's radius .
Debris disk
An infrared excess has been detected around this star,[ 11] most likely indicating the presence of a circumstellar disk at a radius of 45.7 astronomical units (6.84× 109 km; 4.25× 109 mi). The temperature of this dust was initially estimated as 30 K (−243.2 °C; −405.7 °F)[ 6] according to measurement by Herschel Space Observatory . Later that measurement was deemed questionable,[ 12] and fixed temperature of 62 K (−211.2 °C; −348.1 °F) was obtained in 2020.[ 13]
