Gliese 408 is a red dwarf with a spectral type of M2.5V.[3] Much dimmer than the Sun, it has a luminosity of only 0.37% compared to the Sun,[8] but still it is much more luminous than other red dwarf stars, like Proxima Centauri. Its effective temperature is about 3400 to 3500 K;[3] its mass is about 41% compared to the Sun,[6] and its radius is about 43% that of the Sun.[7] Its rotational velocity is at most 2.3 km/s. No evidence of a circumstellar disk has been found around Gliese 408.[9]
