Simbad = GJ+317Gliese 317 is a
red dwarf star approximately 30light-year s away in theconstellation ofPyxis . The star has anapparent magnitude of 12, anabsolute magnitude of 12.2, and corresponding to visualluminosity of 0.1%Sun . As of 2007, at least oneextrasolar planet has been confirmed to be orbiting the star.Planetary system
Announced in 2007, a
jovial planet (designatedGliese 317 b ) was confirmed to orbit the star. [cite journal |url=http://fr.arxiv.org/abs/0707.2409 |title=A New Planet Around an M Dwarf: Revealing a Correlation Between Exoplanets and Stellar Mass |author= John A. Johnson, R. Paul Butler, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Debra A. Fischer, Steven S. Vogt, Jason T. Wright, Kathryn M. G. Peek |journal=ARXIV |year=2007 |volume= |pages=27 |accessdate=2007-07-07] The planet orbits about 95% thedistance betweenEarth to theSun . Despite of this, it takes about 1.9year s, corresponding to sloworbital velocity of 14.82 km/s.There is a possible second planet in the system; if it exists, the orbital parameters would change for the first planet. It would have an
orbital period of 673.4day s and eccentricity of 0.25. A stability analysis on this putative system constrained its orbits to a 4:1 mean motion resonance.
