List of nearest Red dwarfs

        This page highlights red dwarfs near the Solar System, which are key targets in the study of nearby stars and planetary systems. Their abundance and long-lived stability make them especially interesting for exoplanet searches, including exoplanets in the habitable zone. Understanding nearby red dwarfs helps place our Sun in context and provides important clues about where habitable planets and potential life might be found.

Image: Ammonia and hydrogen may separate inside Uranus and Neptune
Ammonia and hydrogen can separate into distinct, hydrogen-rich and ammonia-rich phases under conditions expected inside some planets. Simulations indicate that the boundary between mixing and separation crosses published temperature profiles for Uranus and Neptune. This suggests ammonia may be raining out inside both planets today, moving from their hydrogen-rich envelopes into ammonia-rich regions. The simulations covered temperatures from 500 to 4,000 kelvins and pressures from 0.1 to 100 g...

The exoplanet TOI-2257 b orbits its star once every 35 days with a high eccentricity. New models suggest its atmospheric and orbital fate depends on whether it is a gas-rich mini-Neptune or a rocky super-Earth. Higher eccentricity would confirm a gaseous nature....

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.

Stars
Stars are enormous spheres of hot gas that shine by generating energy through nuclear fusion in their cores. Most stars are made primarily of hydrogen and helium. In the center of a star, intense pressure and temperature cause hydrogen atoms to fuse into helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy as light and heat.
