Struve 2398 is a binary star system in the constellation Draco. Both stars are red dwarfs and both display variability common to flare stars. The orbital period for the pair is about 408 years, and the eccentricity of the orbit is 0.53.

Gliese 725: Tutte le informazioni su Gliese 725 su Encyclopedia.it (832 words)
Il sistema è composto da due stelle, Gliese 725 A e B, o Struve 2398 A e B orbitanti, ad una distanza media di 56 UA, 8,38 Miliardi di Km, pressapoco l'ampiezza dell'orbita di Plutone.
Struve mise sotto osservazione 120.000 stelle dal 1817 al 1827, pubblicando un'ampia monografia sulla Cometa di Halley.
Sulla base dell'osservazione della cometa nel 1835, Struve individuò nel 1837 2.640 stelle doppie, misurando la parallasse di Vega dal 1835 al 1838.
Struve 2398 AB (1178 words)
Struve 2398 is too dim to be seen with the naked eye.
Struve 2398 B is a flare star, like UV Ceti (Luyten 726-8 B) shown flaring at left.
Accounting for infrared heating, the distance from Struve 2398 B where an Earth-type planet would be "comfortable" with liquid water is centered around only 0.15 AU.
