SIMBAD data

LP 71-82 is a red dwarf star, located in constellation Draco at 25.42 light-years from Earth. [3] Kinematically, it is probably belongs to the Ursa Major Moving Group. [6]

Multiplicity surveys do not found any stellar companions to LP 71-82 as in 2014. [7]

Physical properties

LP 71-82 is a flare star with a very strong activity, [1] with at least four flares detected by 2019. [5] Such activity is expected for a star with a short rotational period of just 6 hours. As a low mass star, it is fully convective. It is visible nearly pole-on, with rotational axis deflected from the Sun by 19±3° degrees. [4] The star has a magnetic fields in chromosphere in 3.8-4.7 kilogauss range. [8]

Groombridge 34 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It was listed as entry number 34 in A Catalogue of Circumpolar Stars, published posthumously in 1838 by British astronomer Stephen Groombridge. Based upon parallax measurements taken by the Gaia spacecraft, the system is located about 11.6 light-years from the Sun. This positions the pair among the nearest stars to the Solar System.

TZ Arietis is a red dwarf in the northern constellation of Aries. With a normal apparent visual magnitude of 12.3, it is too faint to be seen by the naked eye, although it lies relatively close to the Sun at a distance of 14.6 light-years. It is a flare star, which means it can suddenly increase in brightness for short periods of time.

Gliese 674(GJ 674) is a small red dwarf star with an exoplanetary companion in the southern constellation of Ara. It is too faint to be visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 9.38 and an absolute magnitude of 11.09. The system is located at a distance of 14.8 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −2.9 km/s. It is a candidate member of the 200 million year old Castor stream of co-moving stars.
