2. List of nearest stars - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars

   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 ...

3. V1054 Ophiuchi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V1054_Ophiuchi

   V1054 Ophiuchi/Gliese 643 has the largest number of stars of all star systems located within 10 pc from Earth. [4] It is also the nearest quintuple star system [3] (the next nearest star systems with at least five stars are GJ 2069 (quintuple) [4] at 41.8 light-years, and Castor [3] (sextuple) at 51.6 light-years), and the only quintuple star system within 10 pc.

4. List of nearest stars by spectral type - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars_by...

   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. The Alpha Centauri star system is the closest star system to the Sun.

5. Alpha Centauri - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Centauri

   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).

6. List of nearby stellar associations and moving groups

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearby_stellar...

   The regions with higher density of stars are shown; these correspond with known star clusters (Hyades and Coma Berenices) and moving groups. This is a list of nearby stellar associations and moving groups. 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 ...

9. Luhman 16 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhman_16

   Luhman 16 is the nearest-known star/brown-dwarf system to Alpha Centauri, located 3.577 ly (1.097 pc) from Alpha Centauri AB, and 3.520 ly (1.079 pc) from Proxima Centauri. [note 3] Both systems are located in neighboring constellations, in the same part of the sky as seen from Earth, but Luhman 16 is a bit farther away. Before the discovery of ...
