Gliese 849 is a red dwarf star approximately 29 light years away in the constellation of Aquarius.

Planetary system

In August 2006, a first long-period Jupiter-like planet was found orbiting the red dwarf at a distance of 2.35 astronomical units, taking 1890 days to orbit with a low eccentricity.[4]
