<P> This list contains all known stars and brown dwarfs at a distance of up to 5 parsecs (16.3 light - years) from the Solar System . In addition to the Solar System, there are another 56 stellar systems currently known lying within this distance . These systems contain a total of 60 hydrogen - fusing stars (of which 50 are red dwarfs), 13 brown dwarfs, and 4 white dwarfs . Despite the relative proximity of these objects to Earth, only nine of them have an apparent magnitude less than 6.5, which means only about 12% of these objects can be observed with the naked eye . Besides the Sun, only three are first - magnitude stars: Alpha Centauri, Sirius, and Procyon . All of these objects are located in the Local Bubble, a region within the Orion--Cygnus Arm of the Milky Way . </P> <P> Stars visible to the unaided eye have their magnitude shown in light blue below . Brown dwarfs are shown with their designations in brown . White dwarfs are shown with their designation in beige . The classes of the stars and brown dwarfs are shown in the color of their spectral types (these colors are derived from conventional names for the spectral types and do not represent the star's observed color). Many brown dwarfs are not listed by visual magnitude but are listed by near - IR J band magnitude . Some of the parallax and distance results are preliminary measurements . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> #</Th> <Th> Distance Light - years (± err) </Th> <Th_colspan="3"> Designation </Th> <Th> Stellar class </Th> <Th> Apparent magnitude (m or m) </Th> <Th> Absolute magnitude (M or M) </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Epoch J2000. 0 </Th> <Th> Parallax mas (± err) </Th> <Th> Discovery date </Th> <Th> Notes and additional references </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> System </Th> <Th> Star </Th> <Th> Star #</Th> <Th> Right ascension </Th> <Th> Declination </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> Solar System </Td> <Td> Sun </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> G2V </Td> <Td> − 26.74 </Td> <Td> 4.85 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> has eight known planets </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> 4.2421 (16) </Td> <Td> Alpha Centauri (Rigil Kentaurus) </Td> <Td> Proxima Centauri (V645 Centauri) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> M5. 5Ve </Td> <Td> 11.09 </Td> <Td> 15.53 </Td> <Td> 14 29 43.0 </Td> <Td> − 62 ° 40 ′ 46" </Td> <Td> 768.87 (029) </Td> <Td> 1915 </Td> <Td> Flare star, has one known planet (b) (2016) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 4.3650 (68) </Td> <Td> α Centauri A (HD 128620) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> G2V </Td> <Td> 0.01 </Td> <Td> 4.38 </Td> <Td> 14 39 36.5 </Td> <Td> − 60 ° 50 ′ 02" </Td> <Td> 747.23 (117) </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> α Centauri B (HD 128621) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> K1V </Td> <Td> 1.34 </Td> <Td> 5.71 </Td> <Td> 14 39 35.1 </Td> <Td> − 60 ° 50 ′ 14" </Td> <Td> 1689 </Td> <Td> has one suspected planet (c) (2013) (planet b refuted in 2015) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> 5.9630 (109) </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Barnard's Star (BD + 04 ° 3561a) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> M4. 0Ve </Td> <Td> 9.53 </Td> <Td> 13.22 </Td> <Td> 17 57 48.5 </Td> <Td> + 04 ° 41 ′ 36" </Td> <Td> 546.98 (1 00) </Td> <Td> 1916 </Td> <Td> Flare star, largest known proper motion </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> 6.59 (7) </Td> <Td> Luhman 16 (WISE 1049 − 5319) </Td> <Td> Luhman 16A </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> L8 ± 1 </Td> <Td> 10.7 J </Td> <Td> 14.2 J </Td> <Td> 10 49 15.57 </Td> <Td> − 53 ° 19 ′ 06" </Td> <Td> 495 (5) </Td> <Td> 2013 </Td> <Td> had one suspected planet (Ab) (doubtful) (2013) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Luhman 16B </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> T1 ± 2 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> 7.27 (13) </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> WISE 0855 − 0714 </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> 25.0 J </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 08 55 10.83 </Td> <Td> − 07 ° 14 ′ 42.5" </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 2014 </Td> <Td> sub-brown dwarf </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> 7.7825 (390) </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Wolf 359 (CN Leonis) </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> M6. 0V </Td> <Td> 13.44 </Td> <Td> 16.55 </Td> <Td> 10 56 29.2 </Td> <Td> + 07 ° 00 ′ 53" </Td> <Td> 419.10 (210) </Td> <Td> 1919 </Td> <Td> Flare star </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 8.2905 (148) </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Lalande 21185 (BD + 36 ° 2147) </Td> <Td> 9 </Td> <Td> M2. 0V </Td> <Td> 7.47 </Td> <Td> 10.44 </Td> <Td> 11 03 20.2 </Td> <Td> + 35 ° 58 ′ 12" </Td> <Td> 393.42 (070) </Td> <Td> 1801 </Td> <Td> has one suspected planet (2017) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> 8.5828 (289) </Td> <Td> Sirius (α Canis Majoris) </Td> <Td> Sirius A </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> A1V </Td> <Td> − 1.46 </Td> <Td> 1.42 </Td> <Td> 06 45 08.9 </Td> <Td> − 16 ° 42 ′ 58" </Td> <Td> 380.02 (128) </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> brightest star in the night sky </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Sirius B </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> DA2 </Td> <Td> 8.44 </Td> <Td> 11.34 </Td> <Td> 1844 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 8.7280 (631) </Td> <Td> Luyten 726 -
