Gliese 581
Gliese 581 is a red dwarf with spectral type M3V, located about 22 light years away from Earth in the constellation Libra. Its estimated mass is about a third of that of the Sun, and it is the 89th closest known star to the Sun. Observations suggest that the star has a planetary system consisting of at least three, maybe four, and controversially six planets: Gliese 581 e, b, and c are certain; d is probable; and f and g are disputed. Gliese 581 has been the subject of a "huge amount of attention" in the quest to discover the first habitable extrasolar planet; first for c, and then d and g. The star first gained attention after Gliese 581 c, the first low-mass extrasolar planet found near a habitable zone, was discovered in April 2007. It has since been shown that under known terrestrial planet climate models, Gliese 581 c is likely to have a runaway greenhouse effect, and hence is probably too hot to be habitable, analogous to Venus. A subsequently proposed planet Gliese 581 d, may be just inside or just outside the outer boundary of the habitable zone, analogous to Mars. Gliese 581 e was announced in April 2009; this was at the time the least-massive planet found around a normal star.
