37 Geminorum is a solitary[12] Sun-like star located at the northwest part of the northern constellation of Gemini, about three degrees to the east of the bright star Epsilon Geminorum.[13] The apparent visual magnitude of 37 Geminorum is 5.74,[2] which is just bright enough to be visible to the naked eye on a dark night. It is located at a distance of 57 light years from the Sun based on parallax.[1] This star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −15 km/s, and is predicted to come as near as 13.8 light-years in approximately a million years.[5] It is positioned close enough to the ecliptic to be subject to lunar occultations, such as happened on April 8, 1984.[14]

Properties

The stellar classification of 37 Geminorum is G0 V,[3] which indicates it is an ordinary G-type main sequence star that is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion. In 2007, J. C. Hall and associates categorized it as a solar-type with a high mean activity level.[15] The star is around 5.5[10] billion years old and is spinning with a rotation period of 25 days.[8] It is slightly larger and more massive than the Sun,[6] with a lower abundance of heavier elements based on its abundance of iron.[7] 37 Geminorum is radiating 1.1 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,913 K.[6]

As of 2012, no extrasolar planets or debris disks have yet been discovered around it.[16] The center of the star's habitable zone lies at a distance of 1.32 astronomical unit|AU.[17]

Teen Age Message

Main article: Astronomy:Teen Age Message

There was a METI message sent to 37 Geminorum. It was transmitted from Eurasia's largest radar, 70-meter Yevpatoria Planetary Radar. The message was named the Teen Age Message, it was sent on September 3, 2001, and it will arrive at 37 Geminorum in December 2057.[18]

Catalog of Nearby Habitable Systems

Main article: Astronomy:Catalog of Nearby Habitable Systems

The Catalog of Nearby Habitable Systems (HabCat) is a list of approximately 17,000 relatively close stars similar to the sun and considered able to support a planet habitable by humans. 37 Geminorum is on the HabCat list.[19]
