The closest encounter to the Sun so far predicted is the low-mass orange dwarf star Gliese 710 / HIP 89825 with roughly 60% the mass of the Sun. [4] It is currently predicted to pass 0.1696 ± 0.0065 ly (10 635 ± 500 au) from the Sun in 1.290 ± 0.04 million years from the present, close enough to significantly disturb the Solar System's Oort ...
The nearest white giant. Capella A 42.919 ± 0.049 [9] G8III [9] 11.98 ± 0.57 [9] 2.5687 [9] 0.03 [10] The nearest yellow giant, together with Capella A. With a magnitude of 0.08, [11] the Capella star system is the 6th-brightest star in the night sky. Capella B G0III [9] 8.83 ± 0.33 [9] 2.48 [9] 0.16 [10] The nearest yellow giant, together ...
The northerly star Theta Centauri, officially named Menkent, is an orange giant star of magnitude 2.06. It is the only bright star of Centaurus that is easily visible from mid-northern latitudes. The next bright object is Gamma Centauri, a binary star which appears to the naked eye at magnitude 2.2. The primary and secondary are both blue-white ...
A stellar association is a very loose star cluster, looser than an open cluster. A moving group is the remnant of such a stellar association. [1] Members of stellar associations and moving groups share similar kinematic properties, as well as similar ages and chemical composition. The list (below) is sorted by the distance to the Solar System.
At a distance of 16.2 light years, it is the nearest known class L brown dwarf object to the Solar System. [3] The discovery of 20 previously unknown star systems within 10 parsecs of the Solar System. These are in addition to 8 new star systems announced between 2000 and 2005. [4]
Alpha Centauri (α Centauri, α Cen, or Alpha Cen) is a triple star system in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It consists of three stars: Rigil Kentaurus (α Centauri A), Toliman (α Centauri B), and Proxima Centauri (α Centauri C). [14] Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun at 4.2465 light-years (1.3020 pc).
Below there are lists the nearest stars separated by spectral type.The scope of the list is still restricted to the main sequence spectral types: M, K, F, G, A, B and O.It may be later expanded to other types, such as S, D or C.
