LHS 1743's star type is star that can be located in the constellation of Taurus. The description is based on the spectral class.
LHS 1743 is not part of the constellation outline but is within the borders of the constellation.
Based on the spectral type (M3.5 D) of the star, the star's colour is red .
The star is calculated at being about 56.72 light years away from us.
The Gliese ID of the star is GJ 3337. The star was added to the Gliese catalogue in 1970 by Richard van der Riet Woolley hence the GJ prefix rather than GL prefix.Star Names.
LHS 1743 has alternative name(s) :- LTT 17752, G85-48.
The location of the star in the night sky is determined by the Right Ascension (R.A.) and Declination (Dec.), these are equivalent to the Longitude and Latitude on the Earth. The Right Ascension is how far expressed in time (hh:mm:ss) the star is along the celestial equator. If the R.A. is positive then its eastwards. The Declination is how far north or south the object is compared to the celestial equator and is expressed in degrees. For LHS 1743, the location is 05h 10m 57.47 and +18° 37` 36.0 .
All stars like planets orbit round a central spot, in the case of planets, its the central star such as the Sun. In the case of a star, its the galactic centre. The constellations that we see today will be different than they were 50,000 years ago or 50,000 years from now. Proper Motion details the movements of these stars and are measured in milliarcseconds. The star is moving -656.00 miliarcseconds/year towards the north and -233.00 miliarcseconds/year east if we saw them in the horizon.
The Radial Velocity, that is the speed at which the star is moving away/towards the Sun is -54122.00 km/s . When the value is negative then the star and the Sun are getting closer to one another, likewise, a positive number means that two stars are moving away. Its nothing to fear as the stars are so far apart, they won't collide in our life-time, if ever.
LHS 1743 has a spectral type of M3.5 D. This means the star is a red star.
The Parallax of the star is given as 57.50 which gives a calculated distance to LHS 1743 of 56.72 light years from the Earth or 17.39 parsecs. It would take a spaceship travelling at the speed of light, 56.72 years to get there. We don't have the technology or spaceship that can carry people over that distance yet.
The star is roughly 3,586,919.99 Astronomical Units from the Earth/Sun give or take a few. An Astronomical Unit is the distance between Earth and the Sun. The number of A.U. is the number of times that the star is from the Earth compared to the Sun.
