Luyten's Star

Luyten's Star

(GJ 273) is a red dwarf in the constellation Canis Minor located at a distance of approximately 12.36 light-years (3.79 parsecs) from Sol. It has a visual magnitude of 9.9,.

It is named after Willem Jacob Luyten, who, in collaboration with Edwin G. Ebbighausen, first determined its high proper motion in 1935.(for Pre Astro Earth)

 This star is approximately a quarter the mass of Sol and has 35% of Sol's radius.

Luyten's Star is at the maximum mass at which a red dwarf star can be fully convective. That is, most if not all of the star forms an extended convection zone. It has a stellar classification of M3.5V, with the V luminosity class indicating this is a main sequence star that is generating energy through the thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen at its core. The projected rotation rate of this star

is too low to be measured, but is no greater than 1 km/s. The effective temperature of the star's outer envelope is a relatively cool 3,150 K, giving the star the characteristic red-orange hue of an M-type star.



At present, Luyten's Star is moving away from the Sol System. The closest approach occurred about 13,000 years ago when it came within 3.67 parsecs. The star is currently located 1.2 light years distant from ProcyonThe space velocity components of Luyten's Star are U = +16, V = −66 and W = −17 km/s.



Luyten's Star System

is a Union Star System with rock core planets – It has been colonized during the Second Exodus by United Earth pioneers.

The planets are :

Twist

Crepe

Tommy's World

Tommy's World was one of the Industrial centers that built the Second Generation of Robot Bombs and today is one of Enroes prime Loki Torpedo Manufacturing sites. It is also a main development and research center for missiles and similar weapons.
