Abstract (from CDS):

We present an improved orbit determination for the visual pair in the M-dwarf triple system Gliese 866 that is based on new speckle-interferometric and HST observations. The system mass is M=0.34±0.03M☉. The masses of the components derived using the mass-luminosity relation are consistent with this mass sum. All three components of Gliese 866 seem to have masses not far from the hydrogen burning mass limit.
