Gliese 877 (GJ 877 / HIP 113229 / LHS 531)[2] is a red dwarf star located in the southern constellation of Octans, near the boundary with Indus. At a distance of 28.04 light-years (8.60 parsecs), it is the nearest star in Octans.[5]: 84 Known stars close to it are β Hydri and ζ Tucanae, respectively 4.5 and 6.2 light years.[6]
Gliese 877's bolometric luminosity is just 2.3% of the Sun's.[7] It shines with an apparent magnitude of +10.22, so it cannot be seen with the naked eye. Nevertheless, it is considerably brighter than other red dwarfs, such as Proxima Centauri, the closest red dwarf to the Solar System; in particular, it is almost 14 times more luminous than Proxima. Of spectral type M3V,[3] its effective temperature is 3390 K.[7] It does not appear to be a variable star.[3]
