GJ 758 B is a brown dwarf orbiting the G-type main sequence star GJ 758 located approximately 50 light years away in the constellation Lyra.GJ 758 B was detected by direct imaging using the HiCIAO instrument of the Subaru Telescope. The parameters have subsequently been revised in a follow-up study which also revealed that a putative second substellar object in the system was in fact an unrelated background star.
