Sentences with phrase «type red dwarfs»

It appears to be a main sequence red dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type M4.5 V. Because of its small mass and great distance from the primary (Star A), Upsilon Andromedae B appears to have a negligible effect on the radial velocity measurements used to determine that Star A has at least three large planets (Lowrance et al, 2002).

Hence, Earth - type life around flare stars may be unlikely because their planets must be located very close to dim red dwarfs to be warmed sufficiently by star light to have liquid water (about 0.007 AU for Proxima), which makes flares even more dangerous around such stars.

Yet a growing number of studies in recent years have suggested that red dwarfs may ultimately be some of the best types of stars to search for exoplanets and habitability.

Recent statistics indicate that over a fourth of Sun - like stars and roughly a half of red dwarfs in our Milky Way Galaxy have been found in multi-star systems — around 44 percent of of spectral types F6 to K3 and possibly declining to one third to one fourth of very dim type M stars that are difficult to observe (Raghavan et al, 2010; Charles J. Lada, 2006; and Duquennoy and Mayor, 1991).
