Gliese 486, also known as Wolf 437, is a M-type main-sequence star in the constellation Virgo. Its surface temperature is 3340±54 K. Gliese 486 is similar to the Sun in its concentration of heavy elements, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.07±0.16. It was suspected to be a flare star,[7] although measurements available in 2019 did not reveal any flares.[8] The chemical makeup of the star is unremarkable and consistent with solar abundances or being slightly metal-poor.[5]
The star has an unremarkable magnetic field in the chromosphere of about 1.6 kilogauss.[6] It is rotating very slowly and is likely to be very old, belonging kinematically to the old thin disk of the Milky Way.[9]
Multiplicity surveys did not detect any stellar companions to Gliese 486 as at 2020.[10]

In 2021, one planet, named Gliese 486 b[ja], was discovered on a tight, circular orbit.[4] It represents a rare class of rocky exoplanet suitable for spectroscopic characterization in the near future[11] by the James Webb Space Telescope.[12]
In August 2022, this planetary system was included among 20 systems to be named by the third NameExoWorlds project.[13]
