Gliese 393

Gliese 393, or GJ 393, is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Sextans, positioned about 1.5° to the NNW of Beta Sextantis. At an apparent visual magnitude of 9.65, it is much too faint to be seen with the unaided eye. This star is located at a distance of 22.9 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +8.3 km/s. It has a large proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.950″ per year. The net velocity of this star relative to the Sun is 32.9 km/s. It shares a similar space motion as members of the AB Doradus moving group, but is considered a random interloper.
