Gliese 588 is a nearby red dwarf star of spectral type M2.5, located in constellation Lupus at 19.34 light-years from Earth.[1]:{{{3}}}

History of observations

According Luyten (1979) (catalogue LHS, as well as NLTT), this object was discovered by Innes.[6]:{{{3}}}[10]:{{{3}}} In 1903–1927 Innes was the director of the Union Observatory (UO), South Africa.

However, in Ci 20 catalogue (see number 934) this star was designated as "CD -40 7021", not "UO".[4]:{{{3}}} This may indicate that GJ 588 was first catalogued earlier, in Cordoba Durchmusterung by John M. Thome in 1894.[3]:{{{3}}}[11] Note: real CD designation of GJ 588 is "CD -40 9712",[5]:{{{3}}} not "CD -40 7021":[4]:{{{3}}} GJ 588 has RA 15 hours, but real CD -40 7021 has RA 11 hours.[12][3]:{{{3}}}
