DT Virginis, also known as Ross 458, is a binary star system in the constellation of Virgo. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 9.79[4] and is located at a distance of 37.6 light-years from the Sun. Both of the stars are low-mass red dwarfs with at least one of them being a flare star. This binary system has a circumbinary sub-stellar companion.

This star was mentioned as a suspected variable by M. Petit in 1957.[13] In 1960, O. J. Eggen classified it as a member of the Hyades moving group based on the system's space motion;[14] it is now considered a likely member of the Carina Near Moving Group.[7] Two flares were reported from this star in 1969 by N. I. Shakhovskaya, confirming it as a flare star.[1] It was identified as an astrometric binary in 1994 by W. D. Heintz, who found a period of 14.5 years.[6] The pair were resolved using adaptive optics in 1999.[6] Early mass estimates placed the companion near the substellar limit, and it was initially proposed as a brown dwarf[15] but is now considered late-type red dwarf.[5]

The primary member, component A, is an M-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of M0.5.[5] It is young, magnetically very active star with a high rate of rotation[15] and strong emission.[5] The star experiences star spots that cover 10–15% of the surface[4] It is smaller and less massive than the Sun. The star is radiating just 4.4%[8] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,484 K.[7]

Planetary system

A distant sub-stellar companion to the binary star system was discovered in 2010 as part of a deep infrared sky survey. This is most likely a T8 spectral type brown dwarf with an estimated rotation period of 6.75±1.58 h. The object varies slightly in brightness, which may be due to patchy clouds.[5] The companion lacks a detectable oxygen in the atmosphere, implying its formation from sequestrated source or peculiar atmospheric chemistry.[16]
