GJ 3293 (sometimes Gliese 3293) is a star in the constellation of Eridanus, that is orbited by four planets, two of which (GJ 3293b & GJ 3293d) are located within the star's habitable zone. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension 04h 28m 35.71911s, Declination −25° 10′ 09.2979″.[2] With an apparent visual magnitude of 11.96,[5] this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. It can be viewed with a telescope having an aperture of at least 4 in (10 cm). The estimated distance to GJ 3293 is 65.9 light-years (20.2 parsecs), based on its stellar parallax.[2] GJ 3293 is significantly smaller and cooler than the Sun.[1]
Planetary system
In 2015, it was discovered that GJ 3293 possessed two planets,[1] and in 2017 an additional two planets were discovered, making a total of four.[6] Two of these planets are located within the habitable zone: GJ 3293b and GJ 3293d.[6]
