HD 154577 (Gliese 656) is a solar-type star in the southern constellation of Ara. It is a high proper motion star and, based upon an annual parallax shift of 73.41 mas,[1] is located about 44 light years from the Sun. The star is too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.4.[2] It is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +9 km/s.[5]

This star has only 68% of the Sun's mass and radius, an effective temperature of 4,850 K and a stellar classification of K2.5Vk:,[3] which indicates it is a K-type main sequence star. (The 'k' suffix indicates there are interstellar absorption features in the spectra, while ':' means there is some uncertainty about the classification.) It is about 3.2[11] billion years old and appears to be spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 0.2 km/s.[10] The star is radiating 24%[8] of the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,850 K.[3]

As of 2005, this star is not known to host any planets.[6] No excess of infrared radiation has been detected of the type that would indicate the presence of an orbiting debris disk.[11]
