Gliese 569 is a ternary star system composed of a main-sequence star orbited by a pair of brown dwarfs in the constellation of Boötes about 32 light years away.

System[edit]

The primary star GJ 569A is orbited by the much fainter (3.7 magnitudes) secondary GJ 659B at a projected separation of 5.92 arcseconds, discovered in 1988.[11] The star GJ 569B (BD+16 2708B) itself is a close binary system of two high-mass brown dwarfs in a 2.4-year orbit,[12] and a small (0.538±0.048) magnitude difference between components.[13] The orbital plane of close binary GJ 569Ba and GJ 569Bb is expected to precess at timescales of about 100 thousand years due to the gravitational influence of GJ 569A.[6]

Properties[edit]

The primary star Gliese 569A is a flare star.[1] The nature of the brown dwarf binary Gliese 569B is highly uncertain, and it was even suspected Gliese 569Ba itself may be either a low-mass star or a binary object.[7] Both brown dwarfs are weakly variable, likely due to starspot activity.[12]
