  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: List of nearest stars
Van Maanens Star is a white dwarf, the second such star discovered and the closest one to the Sun after Sirius B. It is also known as van Maanen 2, G 001-027, GCTP 160.
Stellar astronomy is the study of stars and the phenomena exhibited by the various forms/developmental stages of stars.
As learned by star formation astronomers, stars are born in molecular clouds, large regions of slightly higher density of matter (though still less dense than the inside of an earthly vacuum chamber), and form by gravitational instability inside those clouds triggered by shockwaves from supernovae.

 Van Maanen's Star
The nearest white dwarf to the Sun that isn't part of a binary star system (Sirius B and Procyon B are closer) and the second white dwarf to be discovered.
It lies in the constellation Pisces, west of Delta Piscium and east of Omega Piscium, and was discovered in 1917 by the Dutch-American astronomer Adriaan van Maanen (1884-1946) who, in comparing photographs made between 1914 and 1917, noticed the star's high annual proper motion of 2.98".
Van Maanen’s Star has a computed diameter of about 18,000 km (about one and half times that of the Earth), which results in a density of about 1.2 tons/cm³, or about 10 times the computed density of Sirius B, the closest white dwarf.

Stars may be alone or may have a number of companion stars in the immediate vicinity.
Stars themselves have been given a number of classifications, this usually consists of a letter given to stars which fit the main sequence in Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, other stars which fall outside this are generally giants, supergiants and white dwarfs.
Like Kapteyns Star it is a dull and very boring star except this one is a flare star, with massive periodical coronal mass ejections which (when viewed from a suitable observation platform) are extraordinary.

 SPACE.com -- Woman Puts Great Astronomy Debate to Rest
She and a number of other women were assigned the drudgery of analyzing and cataloguing stars on photographic plates, a mind-numbing task that involved the microscopic comparison of millions of stars on photographs, looking for, among other things, tiny variations in brightness.
In the heat of the debate he cited the observations of a close personal friend, Adrien van Maanen, as supporting his view that the spiral nebulae had to be small and therefore close-by.
But van Maanens observations and evidence were flimsy, and in the end Curtis batted away Shapleys arguments with a dismissive one-liner: "There are some observations that are not worth a damn, and others that are not worth a damn.

Distant quadrants are usually noted as “Far Stars”, along with a north/south notation and an east/west notation.

Each and every star in those -- as well as some other objects not to be found anywhere else in the galaxy -- are defined in some tables, of which the sector list is the most important.
Each single element describes a single star, identified by its Unique Id number, and it doesn't matter whether the star by that number is predefined or random generated.
There are a lot more parameters per stellar object (be it star, planet, moon, orbiter, or city), and all these values are filled in with sensible values by the complicated routines which create stellar systems, and they always seem to generate a believable system.

The amount of reaction that you should see from these neutrinos hitting a neutron star should be microscopic compared to the normal radiation emitted by the NS anyway, so it might happen, but would be very hard to detect unless the Neutron Star were orbiting the Supernova (and probably even then).
GRB's may be stars of 10 to 100 solar masses collapsing into a fl hole, with a gamma ray "beam" emitting from the pole and aimed at us.
Stars at 90 degrees to the SN would be heard after a delay equal to their distance and stars 180 degrees away after twice the distance.

Animal furs are illegal in Barnards Star so you'll be able to pick up quite a price for them on the fl market-- watch out for bogus dealers.
However, once you have a little cargo space, money, weapons and battle experience, it is better to take animal skins from Ross 154 to Arcturus, where they are illegal and ship back live animals which are illegal on Ross 154.
Go to Cemiess (-2,-2) and get a hold full of illegal gems and precious metals (watch out for fake dealers!), take a trip to Cegreeth (-1,-3), sell the gems and metals and buy a hold full of slaves (remember the cargo bay life support or you're going to have some very expensive fertilizer!).

When you get the Guardians permit trade luxuries between sol-van maanens where you can often sell for a very high profit on the flmarket (save your game each time in case the police get you).
Upgrade to a larger ship whenever you can (bearing in mind you will need some cash left to buy stock) this way your profits will increase much quicker as you can trade more with your new ship (avoid ships with insufficient range to make the sol-vanmaanens run).
