    The star was originally catalogued in the catalogue of new white dwarf stars from the Data Release 12 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. [6] [7] Gustavo Ourique, an undergraduate in Physics at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, identified the star's unique spectrum, working under the advice of Dr. Kepler Oliveira (S.O. Kepler). The star's ...

    The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram showing the location of main sequence dwarf stars and white dwarfs. A dwarf star is a star of relatively small size and low luminosity. Most main sequence stars are dwarf stars. The meaning of the word "dwarf" was later extended to some star-sized objects that are not stars, and compact stellar remnants that ...

    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 ...
