Like many low-mass stars, Gliese 876 is a variable star.
Not shown are two other nearby objects, a low-mass star and a brown dwarf that are probably both parts of this system.
Many objects that had been characterized as brown dwarfs might actually be low-mass stars.
The figure depends on the number of very low-mass, or dwarf stars, which are hard to detect, especially more than 300 light years from our sun.
Gyrochronology is a method for estimating the age of a low-mass star like the Sun from its rotation period.
They wondered if it could be a low-mass star or substellar object known as a brown dwarf, instead of a true planet.
In addition, brown dwarfs and low-mass runaway stars have been identified.
The distribution of low-mass stars in the disc of the galaxy.
However, the s-process occurs primarily in low-mass stars that evolve more slowly.
Many other cool low-mass stars for which the Sun is included have a similar mechanism going on across their surface layers.
