Gliese 251
Location of Gliese 251 in the constellation Gemini
Gliese 251, also known as HIP 33226 or HD 265866, is a star located about 18 light years away from the Solar System. Located in the constellation of Gemini, it is the nearest star in this constellation.[10] It is located near the boundary with Auriga, 49 arcminutes away from the bright star Theta Geminorum; due to its apparent magnitude of +9.89 it cannot be observed with the naked eye.[2] The closest star to Gliese 251 is QY Aurigae, which is located 3.5 light years away.[11]
Gliese 251 is a red dwarf with a spectral type of M3V[3] with an effective temperature of about 3300 K.[3] Its mass has been measured to be around 0.36 solar masses[8] and its radius is about 36% solar radii.[8] Its metallicity is likely slightly less than that of the Sun.[8] Observations at infrared wavelengths rule out the presence of a circumstellar disk around it.[12]
