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]

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. [7]

Multiplicity surveys did not find any stellar companions to LP 71-82 as in 2014. [8]

107 Piscium is a single star in the constellation of Pisces. 107 Piscium is the star's Flamsteed designation. John Flamsteed numbered the stars of Pisces from 1 to 113, publishing his Catalogus Britannicus in 1725. He accidentally numbered 107 Piscium twice, as he also allocated it the designation of 2 Arietis. This star is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that has been measured varying between 5.14 and 5.26. However, that finding of variation was not confirmed by subsequent observations and is most likely spurious data. It is located at a distance of about 24.8 light years away from the Sun. 107 Piscium is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −33.6, and is predicted to come as close as 15.4 light-years in around 135,800 years.

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.

Nu<sup>1</sup> Boötis Orange-hued star in the constellation Boötes

Nu1 Boötis1 Boötis) is an orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Boötes. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.02, which indicates the star is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.35 mas as seen from Earth, it is located roughly 970 light years distant from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction of 0.13 due to interstellar dust.

HD 89744 is a star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major, positioned about 0.4° due south of the bright star Tania Australis. This object has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.73. The distance to this star has been measured using the parallax method, which locates it 126 light years from the Sun. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −4.4 km/s. There are two known exoplanets orbiting this star.

p Eridani is a binary star system in the constellation of Eridanus whose distance from the Sun is 26.7 light-years based upon parallax. It was found to be a double star in December 1825 by James Dunlop in Australia at his home at Paramatta, now spelt Parramatta. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star. The system is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of about +20 km/s.
