First discovered | Lacaille 8760 | 1753 | Originally listed in a 1763 catalog that was published posthumously by Abbé Nicolas Louis de Lacaille. | [1] | |
First discovered with planet(s) | Gliese 876 | 1998 | Gliese 876 b | The Jovian planet was the first discovered around a red dwarf. |

List of named red dwarfs
[edit]This is a list of red dwarfs with names that are not systematically designated.
Star | Naming | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|
Proxima Centauri | Named for being the closest neighbouring star to Earth's Sun | Lies within the Alpha Centauri star system | [9] |
Barnard's Star | Named after its discoverer, E. E. Barnard | Second closest neighbouring star system to Earth, after α Cen. Also the star with the highest proper motion. | [14] |
van Biesbroeck's star | Named for its discoverer, George van Biesbroeck | Was once the least luminous, and, lowest mass, known star. | [15] |
Kapteyn's star | Named for the astronomer who discovered it had gone missing, Jacobus Kapteyn | Was once the star with the highest proper motion, thus making it move away from its recorded position in the sky and go "missing". | [14] |
Teegarden's Star | Named after the lead investigator astrophysicist who discovered it, Bonnard J. Teegarden, through a datacrunching search of archived data. |
List of nearest red dwarfs

Notes | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Proxima Centauri | 4.2 ly (1.3 pc) | Part of the α Cen trinary system, the closest neighbouring star system. It is also the nearest neighbouring star. | [9] |
