Stars with an apparent magnitude greater than 6.5, and which consequently cannot be observed with the naked eye, are shown in dark grey.
The stellar class is shown in the color of the star's spectral classification.

 UV Ceti star
A red or orange emission-line dwarf (spectral type dMe or dKe) that is also eruptive variable; also known as a flare star.
Within seconds the star may brighten by up to 6 magnitudes, then decline, rapidly at first, then more gradually to a preflare level after several minutes or hours.
UV Ceti itself is a faint M6eV dwarf that is part of a red dwarf binary system (the B component Luyten 726-8).

 NEW SOLAR PLANETS RELATED SITES
These are usually either systems that have recently escaped from open clusters, or multiple-star systems that have experienced a close encounter, leading to near-ejection of a member star.
This movement of the solar system occurs because the Sun has a companion star; both stars orbit a common center of gravity, as is typical of most double star systems.
Perhaps a passing star ripped off the edges of the original planetary disk, but a star-sized companion, remaining in place, would be necessary to keep the remaining disk material from spreading outward, he figures.
