Gliese 367

Gliese 367 (GJ 367, formally named Añañuca) is a red dwarf star 30.7 light-years (9.4 parsecs) from Earth in the constellation of Vela. It is suspected to be a variable with amplitude 0.012 stellar magnitude and period 5.16 years. A stellar multiplicity survey in 2015 failed to detect any stellar companions to Gliese 367. It hosts three known exoplanets, Gliese 367 b, c & d.

Gliese 367's age is unclear. Modelling using stellar isochrones gives a young age of less than 60 million years old, but its orbit around the Milky Way is highly eccentric, unusual for a young star. It may have been forced into such an orbit via a gravitational encounter. Spectroscopic evidence presented in a 2023 study supports an old age for Gliese 367.:6
