Notes
This Bright Star Map contains main sequence stars of OBAFG
spectral types -- excluding most K and M dwarfs -- that may
be located within 100 light-years (ly) of Sol. However,
it also includes some bright K dwarfs located within 19.5 ly
and known or suspected, subgiant and more highly evolved
stars of all spectral types. In addition, two relatively
dimmer and presumably older, G subdwarfs are included.
To see all known stars and substellar objects that may be
located within 47.2 ly of Sol, try the
Nearby Star Map.
