GJ 1252 is a red dwarf star located 66.5 light-years (20.4 parsecs) away from the Solar System in the constellation of Telescopium.The star has about 38% the mass and 39% the radius of the Sun, and a temperature of about 3,458 K (3,185 °C; 5,765 °F).
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 ...
Brightest red dwarf in the sky. ... Also the sixth-nearest stellar system to the Solar System and the brightest star in the night sky. Altair: 16.7 [224] A7Vn [109]
GJ 1061 is a red dwarf star located 12 light-years (3.7 parsecs) from Earth in the southern constellation of Horologium.Even though it is a relatively nearby star, it has an apparent visual magnitude of about 13, [2] so it can only be seen with at least a moderately-sized telescope.

Kepler-186 is a main-sequence M1-type dwarf star, located 177.5 parsecs (579 light years) away in the constellation of Cygnus. The star is slightly cooler than the sun, with roughly half its metallicity. It is known to have five planets, including the first Earth-sized world discovered in the habitable zone: Kepler-186f. [6]
It is around double the Sun's mass, having siphoned off one whole solar mass from its companion, now a hydrogen-depleted dwarf star of around only 0.2 solar masses. [35] The system shines with a combined light that varies between magnitudes 6.06 to 6.15 every 70 to 80 minutes. [36] [37]
Gliese 440, also known as LP 145-141 or LAWD 37, [4] is a white dwarf located 15.1 light-years (4.6 parsecs) from the Solar System in the constellation Musca, the nearest star in this constellation. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] It is the fourth closest white dwarf, after Sirius B , Procyon B , and van Maanen's star . [ 18 ]
