A new study of red dwarf stars has revealed that even the quietest examples of this stellar class are more active and wild than the sun. Red dwarfs, officially known as "M dwarfs" by astronomers ...

NASA confirms the existence of TOI‑1846 b, a nearby hot super-Earth that could contain water, initially observed by NASA's ...

M-type stars, also known as “red dwarfs,” are the smallest class of stars in the Universe. Compared to stars like our Sun, they are low mass, cooler, and dimmer. They are also the most common ...

Red dwarfs interest astronomers because their “habitable zones,” regions where liquid water could exist on a planet’s surface, are much closer to the star than in our solar system.

That makes them particularly deadly to would-be life. And red dwarf stars like Wolf 359 are known to produce a lot of radiation — often in the form of flares and other lash-outs.

A survey of small, cool stars is helping to narrow in on the conditions that might set the stage for life beyond our solar system. A look at about 200 ultracool dwarf stars shows that they lack ...

Well, tell that to the red dwarf star TOI-6894, which is located 238 light-years away. It has just 20% of the mass of the sun, but has been found to host a giant planet, TOI-6894b, that's a little ...

Planets 'Too massive for its star': Scientists discover enormous planet that changes what we know about red dwarfs LHS 3154 b is 13 times Earth's mass, but its host star is 11% of our sun's mass ...

Algae, moss and bacteria can all survive and grow in the light produced by a red dwarf star, according to experiments on Earth. This boosts the idea that planets around red dwarf stars like ...

Red dwarfs are smaller, cooler and more abundant than the G-Type stars like our sun. The planets orbiting red dwarf stars are prime candidates in the search for life beyond Earth.
