Gliese 12 (GJ 12) is a red dwarf star located 39.7 light-years (12.2 parsecs) away in the constellation Pisces. It has about 24% the mass and 26% the radius of the Sun, and a temperature of about 3,296 K (3,023 °C; 5,473 °F). It is an inactive star and hosts one known exoplanet.

Planetary system

The transiting exoplanet Gliese 12 b was discovered by TESS, and two independent studies confirming it as a planet were published in May 2024. Gliese 12 b is similar in size to Earth and Venus, and completes an orbit around its star every 12.8 days. Its mass is poorly constrained but is known to be less than 4 times that of Earth.

Along with the planets of TRAPPIST-1 and LHS 1140 b, Gliese 12 b is one of the nearest known relatively temperate transiting exoplanets, and so is a promising target for the James Webb Space Telescope to determine whether it has retained an atmosphere. Gliese 12 b orbits slightly closer than the inner edge of its star's habitable zone, with an insolation between those of Earth and Venus. Its equilibrium temperature, assuming an albedo of zero, is 315 K (42 °C; 107 °F); if it has an atmosphere, the surface temperature would be greater than this.
