Image: Granulation patterns in LTT 9779 and WASP 121 revealed by JWST

Stars are not perfectly static spheres of light. Their surfaces are covered in granulation, a boiling pattern caused by heat rising from deep within the star and cooling as it reaches the surface. These granules appear as bright, shifting cells that create constant, tiny flickers in a star's brightness. Understanding these rapid fluctuations is essential because they can mimic or mask the faint signals of orbiting planets. By analyzing high-precision data from the JWST, researchers measured t...

Image: Thick-disk stars identified as hosts to ancient hot jupiter planets

New analysis of 268 stars identifies several hot Jupiters orbiting ancient stars in the Milky Way's thick disk. These systems, over 8 billion years old, show distinct differences in mass and orbital periods compared to younger thin-disk populations....

Frequently Asked Questions about nearby stars

What is the nearest star?

Nearest star is Proxima Centauri, located approximately 4.24 light-years (1.30 parsecs) from the Sun. It is part of the Alpha Centauri star system, which also includes Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B.

What are the nearest stars to Earth?

Nearest stars to Earth include the Alpha Centauri system (Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri), Barnard's Star, and Wolf 359. There are also brown dwarfs Luhman 16 and WISE 0855−0714.

What is the solar neighborhood?

Solar neighborhood (also Local Interstellar Cloud) is the region of interstellar space that surrounds the Sun with diameter about 15 light years. Stellar Catalog database includes all stars contained within this region.

How do astronomers measure distances to stars?

Astronomers use methods like parallax, standard candles, and redshift to measure distances to stars. Parallax is especially useful for nearby stars in our solar neighborhood, while other techniques help map the universe beyond.

Are there any exoplanets orbiting the nearest stars?

Yes, several exoplanets have been discovered orbiting the nearest stars. For example, Proxima Centauri has an exoplanet called Proxima Centauri b, which is located in the star's habitable zone and is the closest known exoplanet to Earth.

Why are the nearest stars important for astronomy and physics?

The nearest stars provide valuable laboratories for studying stellar evolution, space environments, and the fundamental physics of stars. Observing these stars helps astronomers understand the structure of our galaxy and the broader universe.

StellarGuide: Étoiles

Étoiles

Les étoiles sont d’immenses sphères de gaz chaud qui brillent en produisant de l’énergie grâce à la fusion nucléaire dans leur noyau. La plupart des étoiles sont composées principalement d’hydrogène et d’hélium. Au centre d’une étoile, la pression et la température élevées provoquent la fusion des atomes d’hydrogène en hélium, libérant ainsi une énorme quantité d’énergie sous forme de lumière et de chaleur.
