List of the most massive known stars. Legend. Wolf–Rayet star. Luminous blue variable. O-type star. B-type star. The following two lists show a few of the known stars, including the stars in open cluster, OB association and H II region.
The stars with the most confirmed planets are the Sun (the Solar System's star) and Kepler-90, with 8 confirmed planets each, followed by TRAPPIST-1 with 7 planets. The 1007 multiplanetary systems are listed below according to the star's distance from Earth. Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System, has three planets (b, c and d).
List of star systems within 95–100 light-years. List of luminous blue variable stars. List of O-type stars. List of star systems within 100–150 light-years. List of Wolf-Rayet stars. List of star systems within 150–200 light-years. List of star systems within 200–250 light-years.
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). The closest system is Alpha Centauri, with Proxima Centauri as the closest star in that system, at 4.2465 light-years from Earth.
Part of a symbiotic binary star system containing a red giant and a white dwarf. As in 2019, with mass 67.54 ± 12.79MJ (0.0523-0.0767 M☉) is the lowest known mass hydrogen-burning star. Luhman 16 B and Luhman 16 A are the closest brown dwarf stars to Earth, and the third-nearest star system to the Solar System.
