GU Piscium is a star in the constellation Pisces.[5] An RS Canum Venaticorum variable, it ranges from magnitude 12.96 to 13.24 over 1.04 days.[6] It is 48 Parsecs (155 light-years) distant from Earth.[7] This star is also believed to be a member of the AB Doradus moving group with a membership probability of 96.9%.[8]
Planetary system
[edit]In 2014, it was found to have a gas giant planet—GU Piscium b—orbiting it.[7]
