Talk:Gliese 710

message: The red dwarfs article states that red dwarfs "have a diameter and mass of less than one-third that of the Sun" but here the mass of Gliese is estimated at 0.4 to 0.6 sun masses. What's wrong? 84.160.247.111 10:15, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Any Credible Theories that Gliese is in Orbit Around The Sun?

message: I know this may not be the place for it but I have just a query about Gliese 710, does it have an Oort cloud? Given our Oort cloud may extend out to 100,000 AU (1 Light year  = 63,241.077 AU) and Glise 710 may approach to about a light year, this seems, if the radius of it’s Oort cloud is similar, to put Earth right at the outer edge of it’s Oort cloud.  What are the consequences if this is the case, if there is any?
This is just a query, I have no info nor any expertise in this field but if someone has info I would think it may be useful to include in the Article.

text: Given that Gliese 710 is less massive than the Sun it should have a smaller Oort cloud. But I see no reason to think Gliese 710 would not have an Oort cloud. But keep in mind that the Oort cloud is mostly empty space. There should not be a significant increase in the cratering rate. Jupiter is frequently perturbing asteroids that get too close to the Kirkwood gaps. -- Kheider (talk) 14:22, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does Gliese 710 have an Oort Cloud? 

message: The article should mention the close approach that Gliese 710 is having now with the large star Eta Serpentis. The uncertainties of mass, location, speed, and direction, of this potential gravity interaction seems to put the future path of Gliese 710 in considerable doubt. I don't believe the several references have addressed the situation adequately either.
We seem to be at least one dissertation short of the confidence usually needed for drawing conclusions. Conventional rules of evidence are different when health and safety are impacted by the results. In such cases the researchers and writers of reference articles are not expected to bear the burden of proof. The burden is placed on opponents who say it isn't dangerous.
It is an interesting question whether or not Eta Serpentis will deflect Gliese 710 enough to prevent disruption of the solar system outer fringes in the next 1.4 million years. To leave it out of the article seems to mislead the readers.
Also missing from the article and the references is a suitable discussion of conserving angular momentum in close encounters, which tends to avoid collisions by compelling the massive bodies to orbit around each other.
I would like to read a larger version of this article by experts in the field, which would suggest additional reference articles should be written about the influence of Eta Serpentis and other intervening stars.Astrojed (talk) 00:53, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Eta Serpentis is only 2 solar masses and if at closest approach Eta Serpentis and Gl 710 are several light years apart, the perturbation could be lost in the existing trajectory uncertainties. -- Kheider (talk) 01:08, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Angular Momentum and Uncertainty in the Close Approach of Gliese 710 to Eta Serpentis

message: In reading the timeline of the far future, this star is supposed to come very close to the sun - astronomically speaking.  Could we send a satellite around this star and "aim" it just right that it orbits around an extrasolar star (if that's a phrase)?
Human will probably be long dead by the time this happens (~1 million years in the future), but it would an interesting "artifact" to leave behind.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.39.107.142 (talk) 21:14, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

message: Applying the Stefan-Boltzmann law to the given radius (0.67) and temperature (4250K) I get about 0.13, so I think something must be amiss with the values in the info box. Qemist (talk) 02:57, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bolometric magnitude 

message: The cite of "strongest disrupting encounter in the future and history of the solar system" is in contradiction to below, "In a time interval of ±10 million years from the present... will cause the greatest gravitational perturbation of the Solar System".  The latter makes much more sense, the former is sensationalistic.  Our solar system is much older than 20 million years, has probably undergone much more disruptive encounters.

message: Hello All, there appears to be a grammatical error in the third sentence.
I have never edited any Wikipedia articles before so I wanted someone else to double check this please.
It reads:
“The predicted minimum distance is 1.281 million years from now, possibly approaching as close as 0.0676 parsecs, 0.221 light years or about 13,300 AU:[10] being about 20 times closer than the current distance of Proxima Centauri.”
Shouldn’t it be something like:
The predicted minimum distance may occur about 1.281 million years from now and possibly be as close as 0.0676 parsecs, 0.221 light years or about 13,300 AU:[10] being about 20 times closer than the current distance of Proxima Centauri. Techman101101 (talk) 07:58, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
