Proxima Centauri | M bol = 11.66 | dM4e | Centaurus | flare star | 0'.765 | R = 1.3 × 1010 cm | 4.25 light-years | 70 percent of all stars | M = 0.1 Msun | UV Ceti star | An flare star probably associated with the alpha Centauri system. It is the closest star to the Sun. | |||||||
UV Ceti | M6e V | Cetus | 26.5 years | binary star | from the point of view of Earth's orbit | e = 0.615 | 2.8 pc | UV Ceti | half the stars in the solar neighborhood are members of star systems | Mv = 15.3 and 15.8 | 0.15 Msun | hydrogen | Luyten 726-8 B | Late-type dwarf with spectra showing hydrogen emission lines. Faint flare star of very low mass. Like other flare stars, it is a member of a binary system in which both components are of nearly equal brightness. Radio flares have also been observed. | 1".0 | 2 | ||
