HR 511 (also designated V987 Cassiopeiae and Gliese 75 among others) is an orange dwarf of spectral type K0V in the constellation Cassiopeia. With an apparent magnitude of 5.63, [2] it is faintly visible to the naked eye. The star is relatively close, 32.8 light years from the Sun. [1]

This star is estimated to be about the same age as the Sun, with 83% of the mass of the Sun and 82% of the Sun's radius. It has not been identified as a member of any moving star groups. This star has displayed unusual emissions of Ca II and is much more x-ray luminous than the Sun. It is considered a relatively active star. [9] Based on an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.02, the metallicity of this star appears to be similar to that of the Sun. [8]

37 Geminorum is a solitary Sun-like star located at the northwest part of the northern constellation of Gemini, about three degrees to the east of the bright star Epsilon Geminorum. The apparent visual magnitude of 37 Geminorum is 5.74, which is just bright enough to be visible to the naked eye on a dark night. It is located at a distance of 57 light years from the Sun based on parallax. This star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −15 km/s, and is predicted to come as near as 13.8 light-years in approximately a million years. It is positioned close enough to the ecliptic to be subject to lunar occultations, such as happened on April 8, 1984.

Theta Boötis, Latinized from θ Boötis, is a star in the northern constellation of Boötes the herdsman, forming a corner of the upraised left hand of this asterism. It has the traditional name Asellus Primus and the Flamsteed designation 23 Boötis. Faintly visible to the naked eye, this star has a yellow-white hue with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.05. It is located at a distance of 47 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −10.6 km/s.

HD 4628 is a main sequence star in the equatorial constellation of Pisces. It has a spectral classification of K2.5 V and an effective temperature of 5,055 K, giving it an orange-red hue with a slightly smaller mass and girth than the Sun. HD 4628 lies at a distance of approximately 24.3 light years from the Sun based on parallax. The apparent magnitude of 5.7 is just sufficient for this star to be viewed with the unaided eye. The star appears to be slightly older than the Sun—approximately 5.4 billion years in age. The surface activity is low and, based upon the detection of UV emission, it may have a relatively cool corona with a temperature of one million K.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Alpha Mensae</span> Star in the constellation Mensa

α Mensae is the brightest star in the constellation Mensa. At a magnitude of 5.09, it is the dimmest lucida in the sky. Due to its declination, on Earth it is best visible from higher latitudes of the southern hemisphere, yet can also be seen, though low in the sky, from just north of the Equator when near its daily arc's highest point, the culmination.

HR 4458 is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Hydra. It has the Gould designation 289 G. Hydrae; HR 4458 is the Bright Star Catalogue designation. At a distance of 31.13 light years, it is the closest star system to the Solar System within this constellation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.97. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −22 km/s.

HD 166 or V439 Andromedae is a 6th magnitude star in the constellation Andromeda, approximately 45 light years away from Earth. It is a variable star of the BY Draconis type, varying between magnitudes 6.13 and 6.18 with a 6.23 days periodicity. It appears within one degree of the star Alpha Andromedae and is a member of the Hercules-Lyra association moving group. It also happens to be less than 2 degrees from right ascension 00h 00m.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">HD 17925</span> Star in the constellation Eridanus

HD 17925 is a variable star in the equatorial constellation of Eridanus. It has the Gould designation 32 G. Eridani and the variable star designation EP Eri. The star has a yellow-orange hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye in good seeing conditions with an apparent visual magnitude that varies from 6.03 down to 6.08. It is located nearby at a distance of 34 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +18 km/s. It is a likely member of the Local Association of nearby, co-moving stars. The spectrum shows a strong abundance of lithium, indicating that it is young star. This likely makes its point of origin the nearby Scorpio–Centaurus Complex.

HR 6806 is a solitary, orange, main sequence, and Sun-like star located thirty-six light-years away, in the constellation Hercules. The star is smaller than the Sun, with around 79% of the solar mass and radius, and 35% of the solar luminosity. It appears to be rotating slowly with an estimated period of 42 days. In 1988, it was noticed that the star had an inactive chromosphere, with a surface magnetic field strength of only 1,500 G. From 1990 activity in the chromosphere increased, inline with a 16 year stellar cycle previously observed. But, sometime after 1994 chromospheric activity greatly reduced, and has stayed flat for more than 16 years. As of 2022, the star appears to have entered the equivalent of a Maunder minimum. The star is around six billion years of age.

HD 125072 is a star in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It is a challenge to view with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.637. The star is located at a distance of 38.6 light years from the Sun based on parallax. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −14.9 km/s. The components of the space velocity for this star are U=−18.5, V=−6.9 and W=−26.9 km/s.
