G 9-38, also known as EI Cancri and GJ 1116, is a binary star system consisting of two M-type stars.[11] At 16.7 light-years from the Sun, the system is relatively nearby.[12]
In 1985, Bjørn Ragnvald Pettersen announced his discovery that the star shows very high stellar flare activity, with an average of five flares per hour.[1] It was given its variable star designation, EI Cancri, in 1987.[13]
In 2015, the search for third star in the system has yielded inconclusive results.[14]
