GJ 357 (also designated Gliese 357) is an M-type main sequence star with an unusually low starspot activity.[8] It is located 31 light-years from the Solar System.[9] The system is part of the Hydra constellation.[9]

Planetary system

The star has three confirmed exoplanets in its orbit,[10] one of which, Gliese 357 d, is considered to be a "super-Earth" within the circumstellar habitable zone.[11][9][12][13]

Planets b and c are close to 3:7 mean-motion resonance. Presuming resonance chain crosses gap to outermost and cold super-terrestrial d and the resonances are simple, GJ 357 may have much more suitable planet for life at approx. 27.5 day period and almost Earth's flux, and (less likely) Mars-sized planet in 2:1 period ratio with GJ 357 c and 2:3 ratio with hypothetical HZ rocky one.[citation needed]
