The giant planet was the first planet discovered around a red dwarf. [2] [3] First discovered with terrestrial planet(s) Kepler-42 : 2012 KOI-961 b KOI-961 c KOI-961 d: 3 terrestrial planets were discovered around KOI-961 in 2012, the first terrestrial planets found to orbit a red dwarf. [4]
Dwarf star with no other qualification generally refers to a main-sequence star, a star of luminosity class V: main-sequence stars (dwarfs). Example: Achernar (B6Vep) [2] Red dwarfs are low-mass main-sequence stars. Yellow dwarfs are main-sequence (dwarf) stars with masses comparable to that of the Sun. Orange dwarfs are K-type main-sequence stars.
Of those, 103 are main sequence stars: 80 red dwarfs and 23 "typical" stars having greater mass. Additionally, astronomers have found 6 white dwarfs (stars that have exhausted all fusible hydrogen), 21 brown dwarfs, as well as 1 sub-brown dwarf, WISE 0855−0714 (possibly a rogue planet).

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 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
It has a stellar classification of M6 V, [3] which indicates it is a type of main-sequence star known as a red dwarf. This is a chromospherically-active star. [14] With high probability, there appears to be a long-term cycle of variability with a period of 4.2 years. This variability causes the star to range in visual magnitude from 12.23 to 12 ...
Red Dwarf: The Promised Land is a 2020 British science-fiction comedy television special and the thirteenth instalment of the British science-fiction sitcom, Red Dwarf. [1]The special sees the Red Dwarf crew of Dave Lister (Craig Charles), Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie), the Cat (Danny John-Jules) and Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) face-off against Rodon (), the leader of a band of feral cats, who ...
