Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars
The standard catalogue of stars in the immediate solar neighbourhood, begun by Wilhelm Gliese and later extended with Hartmut Jahreiß. It lists the stars known to lie within about 25 parsecs of the Sun, with distances and motions; its 'GJ' (or older 'Gl') numbers are the usual designations for nearby red dwarfs and other close stars.
