GJ 3305 is a binary star system in the constellation of Eridanus, notable for being bound to 51 Eridani, an exoplanet-hosting F-type main-sequence star. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 91 light-years (28 parsecs).
Characteristics
[edit]The two components of GJ 3305 are red dwarfs[4] with a combined spectral type of M1.1V.[5] They orbit around each other with a period of 29.4 years, following a slightly eccentric orbit with e = 0.19 and a semi-major axis of 9.3 au. The orbit is seen nearly edge-on, with an inclination of 92.1°. The primary, GJ 3305 A, has a mass of 0.52±0.02 M☉, while the secondary, GJ 3305 B, has a mass of 0.44±0.05 M☉. Both components are young, estimated to be between 20 and 30 million years old.[6]
GJ 3305 was first noted as a physical companion to 51 Eridani in 2006. The two systems are separated by 66", yielding a projected separation of ~2,000 au.[8]
