Red dwarfs [12] are the smallest, coolest, and most common type of star. Estimates of their abundance range from 70% of stars in spiral galaxies to more than 90% of all stars in elliptical galaxies, [13] [14] an often quoted median figure being 72–76% of the stars in the Milky Way (known since the 1990s from radio telescopic observation to be a barred spiral). [15]
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]
A. florea is called the dwarf honey bee due to its small size compared to other honeybees. A worker is typically 7–10 mm in body length and its overall coloration is red-brown. [2] A colony builds a single, exposed comb usually on tree branches or shrubs. [3] A. florea produce honey that is harvested and eaten in Thailand and Cambodia. They ...
Determining the habitability of red dwarf stars could help determine how common life in the universe might be, as red dwarfs make up between 70 and 90% of all the stars in the galaxy. However, it is important to bear in mind that flare stars could greatly reduce the habitability of exoplanets by eroding their atmosphere.
Kepler-186f [2] [3] (also known by its Kepler object of interest designation KOI-571.05) is an Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Kepler-186, [4] [5] [6] the outermost of five such planets discovered around the star by NASA's Kepler space telescope.
Red Dwarf ' s design from Series X (2012) and onwards. The main setting of the series is the eponymous mining spaceship Red Dwarf. [9] In the first episode, set sometime in the late 21st century, [a] an on-board radiation leak kills everyone except lowest-ranking technician Dave Lister, who is in suspended animation at the time, as punishment for smuggling a cat aboard the ship.
TOI-700 is a red dwarf 101.4 light-years away from Earth [3] [5] located in the Dorado constellation that hosts TOI-700 d, the first Earth-sized exoplanet in the habitable zone discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). [1] [2] [6]
Teegarden's Star c (also known as Teegarden c) is an exoplanet found orbiting in the habitable zone of Teegarden's Star, an M-type red dwarf star 12.5 light years away from the Solar System. It orbits in the conservative habitable zone around its star. Along with Teegarden's Star b, it is among the closest known potentially habitable exoplanets.
