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
These stars, known as neutron stars, are extremely small—on the order of radius 10 km, no bigger than the size of a large city—and are phenomenally dense. Their period of rotation shortens dramatically as the stars shrink (due to conservation of angular momentum ); observed rotational periods of neutron stars range from about 1.5 ...
A preon star is a proposed type of compact star made of preons, a group of hypothetical subatomic particles. Preon stars would be expected to have huge densities, exceeding 10 23 kilogram per cubic meter – intermediate between quark stars and black holes.
Galaxies, averaging an estimated 100 million stars, [3] range in size from dwarfs with less than a thousand stars, [4] to the largest galaxies known – supergiants with one hundred trillion stars, each orbiting its galaxy's center of mass. Most of the mass in a typical galaxy is in the form of dark matter, with only a few percent of that mass ...
Least stars in a star system There are many single star systems. Most stars in a star system: QZ Carinae. Nonuple star system [72] System contains at least nine stars. [72] [NB 12] [72] Stars in the closest orbit around one another There are many stars that are in contact binary systems (where two or more stars are in physical contact with each ...
The classes of the stars and brown dwarfs are shown in the color of their spectral types (these colors are derived from conventional names for the spectral types and do not necessarily represent the star's observed color). Many brown dwarfs are not listed by visual magnitude but are listed by near-infrared J band apparent magnitude due to how ...

Many TNOs are often just assumed to have Pluto's density of 2.0 g/cm 3, but it is just as likely that they have a comet-like density of only 0.5 g/cm 3. [ 4 ] For example, if a TNO is incorrectly assumed to have a mass of 3.59 × 10 20 kg based on a radius of 350 km with a density of 2 g/cm 3 but is later discovered to have a radius of only 175 ...
