The Bayesian analysis revealed GU Psc A, an M3 star, to have a high probability of belonging to the 70-130 million-year-old AB Doradus Moving Group (ABDMG). The radial velocity estimated by the analysis agrees with the value we measured on our optical and near-infrared (NIR) spectra, which further confirm the membership. These radial-velocity data were obtained with the Phoenix spectrometer at Gemini South, CRIRES at the VLT, and ESPaDOnS at CFHT. The star’s X-ray luminosity is also consistent with that of ABDMG members. Furthermore, the many youth indicators we studied all agreed with GU Psc A being part of the ABDMG.
