HIP 79431 is a red dwarf star with a planetary companion in the constellation Scorpius. It has the proper name Sharjah, as selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by United Arab Emirates, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Sharjah is the cultural capital of United Arab Emirates. [11] [12] The star has an apparent visual magnitude of 11.34, [2] which is far too faint to be visible to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements, this system is located at a distance of 47.4  light-years from the Sun. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −5 km/s. [4]

This is an M-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of M3V. [3] This star is smaller, cooler, dimmer, and less massive than the Sun, but the estimated metal content is 2.5 times as much as the Sun. The level of chromospheric activity does not appear to be unusually high for a star of this class. [9]

In 2010, a superjovian exoplanetary companion was discovered using the radial-velocity method. It is orbiting at a distance of 0.36  AU from the host star with a period of 0.3 years and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.29. Since the inclination of the orbit is unknown, only a lower bound on the mass can be determined. It has at least 2.1 times the mass of Jupiter. [5]

In 1998, an extrasolar planet was thought to orbit the primary star, but it was discounted in 2000.

Gliese 876 is a red dwarf star 15.2 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius. It is one of the closest known stars to the Sun confirmed to possess a planetary system with more than two planets, after GJ 1061, YZ Ceti, Tau Ceti, and Wolf 1061; as of 2018, four extrasolar planets have been found to orbit the star. The planetary system is also notable for the orbital properties of its planets. It is the only known system of orbital companions to exhibit a near-triple conjunction in the rare phenomenon of Laplace resonance. It is also the first extrasolar system around a normal star with measured coplanarity. While planets b and c are located in the system's habitable zone, they are giant planets believed to be analogous to Jupiter.

Gliese 436 is a red dwarf located 31.9 light-years away in the zodiac constellation of Leo. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 10.67, which is much too faint to be seen with the naked eye. However, it can be viewed with even a modest telescope of 2.4 in (6 cm) aperture. In 2004, the existence of an extrasolar planet, Gliese 436 b, was verified as orbiting the star. This planet was later discovered to transit its host star.

HD 130322 is a star with a close orbiting exoplanet in the constellation of Virgo. The distance to this system is 104 light years, as determined using parallax measurements. It is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −12.4 km/s. With an apparent visual magnitude of 8.04, it is too dim to be visible to the naked eye; requiring binoculars or a small telescope to view. Being almost exactly on the celestial equator the star is visible everywhere in the world except for the North Pole. The star shows a high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.197 arcsec yr−1.

Struve 2398 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Draco. Struve 2398 is star number 2398 in the Struve Double Star Catalog of Russian-German astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve. The astronomer's surname, and hence the star identifier, is sometimes indicated by a Greek sigma, Σ; hence, this system can be listed with the identifier Σ 2398. Although the components are too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, this star system is among the closest to the Sun. Parallax measurements by the Gaia spacecraft give them an estimated distance of 11.5 light-years away.

HD 28185 is a single yellow dwarf star similar to the Sun, located 128 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Eridanus. The designation HD 28185 refers to its entry in the Henry Draper catalogue. The star is known to possess two long-period extrasolar planets.
