Our nearest neighbours - CN LEO (Wolf 359)
Our nearest neighbours - CN LEO (Wolf 359)
CN LEO is the 3rd closest system to Sol. The system consists of a red dwarf of spectral class M6.0 with an estimated mass of only 9% that of the Sun. Note how much brighter the M6.0 dwarf is in the IR rather than V band and how well this is shown in this 120 second animated exposure of IR and V band images. http://www.martin-nicholson.info/close/cnleo.htm Martin Nicholson, Daventry, England. http://www.martin-nicholson.info/1/1a.htm Visit the Astronomical Hall of Shame at http://www.geocities.com/queen5658/
