Krüger 60 (DO Cephei) is a binary star system located 13.1 light-years (4.0 parsecs) from Earth, being one of nearest stars. It is made up of a pair of red dwarfs stars orbiting each other every 45 years.
Red dwarfs [12] are the smallest, coolest, and most common type of star. Estimates of their abundance range from 70% of stars in spiral galaxies to more than 90% of all stars in elliptical galaxies, [13] [14] an often quoted median figure being 72–76% of the stars in the Milky Way (known since the 1990s from radio telescopic observation to be a barred spiral).

Red dwarf: This was once the smallest known actively fusing star, when found in 2005, through 2013. It is the smallest eclipsing red dwarf, and smallest observationally measured diameter. [101] [102] [103] CoRoT-15b: 82,200 Brown dwarf [104] VB 10: 82,300 Red dwarf: It was the smallest known star from 1948 to 1981. [105] TRAPPIST-1: 82,925
The two stars in the Wolf 424 system orbit about each other with a semi-major axis of 4.1 AU and an eccentricity of 0.3. The stars have an orbital period of 15.5 years and have a combined apparent magnitude of about 12.5. Wolf 424A is a cool main sequence red dwarf star of approximately 0.14 solar masses (147 Jupiters) and a
