Gliese 357

GJ 357 (also designated Gliese 357) is an M-type main sequence star. Located 31 light-years from the Solar System,[8] the star has three confirmed exoplanets in its orbit,[9] one of which, GJ 357 d, is considered to be a "super-Earth" within the circumstellar habitable zone.[10][8][11][12] The system is part of the Hydra constellation.[8]
