37 Geminorum is a star located at the northwest part of the constellation Gemini. Its distance from our Sun is about 56.3 light years. It is a solitary, yellow-white main sequence dwarf.

In astronomy, color index is a simple numerical expression that determines the color of an object, which in the case of a star gives its temperature. ... Most stars are of almost constant luminosity. ... This article does not cite its references or sources. ... Radial velocity is the velocity of an object in the direction of the line of sight. ... kilometre per second is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector), signified by the symbol km/s or km s-1. ...

37 Geminorum has many physical properties in common with the Sun and is one of the nearest solar twins. Due to this fact some scientists believe that the prospects for life in its vicinity are good. In September, 2003, 37 Geminorum was identified by astrobiologist Margaret Turnbull from the University of Arizona in Tucson as one of the most promising nearby candidates for hosting life based on her analysis of the HabCat list of stars.

37 Geminorum (586 words)
It lies in the northwest part of (6:55:18.7+25:22:32.5, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Gemini, the Twins -- west of Mebsuta (Epsilon Geminorum), northeast of Mu (Teja) and Eta (Propus) Geminorum, northwest of Zeta (Mekbuta) and Delta (Wasat) Geminorum, and east of open cluster M35.
The stars examined were selected from a larger list of 17,129 (of which 75 percent are located within around 450 ly, or 140 parsecs, of Sol) that were assembled into a Catalog of Nearby Habitable Stellar Systems (HabCat) by Turnbull and Jill Tarter of the SETI Institute (see: Margaret C. Turnbull, 2002, in pdf).
37 Geminorum (Gem) is a yellow-orange main sequence dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type G0 V. A little bigger and brighter than Sol, the star may have 1.1 times Sol's mass, 1.03 times its diameter (Johnson and Wright, 1983, page 661), and 1.25 times its luminosity.
