GJ 1151 is a star located in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major at a distance of 26.2 light years from the Sun. It has a reddish hue and is too faint to be visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 14.0 The star is moving closer with a radial velocity of −36 km/s, and has a relatively large proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at a rate of 1.815·yr.

This is a small red dwarf star of spectral type dM4.5. It is 2.5 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2.0 km/s. The star has 15.4% of the mass of the Sun and 19.0% of the Sun's radius, with an effective temperature of 3,143 K.

Planetary system

In 2020, astronomers announced the discovery of radio emissions from the star which are consistent with the star having a magnetic interaction with a planet approximately the size of Earth, revolving in a 1-5 day long orbit. Such an interaction would be analogous to a scaled-up version of the Jupiter-Io magnetic interaction, with GJ 1151 taking the role of Jupiter and its planet the role of Io. The discovery was confirmed in February 2021 utilizing a radial velocity method.
