The Gl 282AB star system is composed of two K- type main-sequence stars. The primary component, Gliese 282A, is a BY Draconis type variable star with a stellar classification of K2V. It has an effective temperature of 4,956 K. The companion, Gliese 282B, is a smaller, class K5V star. As of 2003, the pair had an angular separation of 58.30 arc seconds along a position angle of 113°.[2] This is equivalent to a projected physical separation of 824 AU.[5]

There is a distant common proper motion companion (G 112-29) at an angular separation of 1.09°. At the estimated distance of Gl 282AB, this corresponds to a projected separation of 55,733 AU, making it one of the widest known physical companions. Initially believed to be a red dwarf star with a stellar classification of M1.5Ve,[5] it turned out to be a pair of red dwarfs (Ca and Cb) with masses 0.55M and 0.19M, orbiting each other on 6591+136
−177
days orbit.[11]
