GJ 680 is an M1.5 V star located 31.5 light-years from Earth. As an M-type dwarf, it is a small, cool red dwarf. Its mass is 0.456 solar masses, its radius is 0.459 solar radii, and its surface temperature is 3560 K. Each of these measurements is smaller or cooler than the corresponding value for the Sun. The star hosts one known planet.
That planet, GJ 680 b, was discovered in 2022 using the radial velocity method, which detects the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. GJ 680 b has a mass of 7980 Earth masses, roughly 25.1 times Jupiter's mass, making it substantially more massive than Earth. Its orbital period is 17300 days.
