List of nearest stars by spectral type information


Below there are lists the nearest stars separated by spectral type. The scope of the list is still restricted to the main sequence spectral types: M, K, F, G, A, B and O. It may be later expanded to other types, such as S, D or C.

The Alpha Centauri star system is the closest star system to the Sun.
