List of named red dwarfs

This is a list of red dwarfs with names that are not systematically designated.
StarNamingNotes
Named for being the closest neighbouring star to Earth's SunLies within the Alpha Centauri star system
Named after its discoverer, E. E. BarnardSecond closest neighbouring star system to Earth, after α Cen. Also the star with the highest proper motion.
Named for its discoverer, George van BiesbroeckWas once the least luminous, and, lowest mass, known star.
Named for the astronomer who discovered it had gone missing, Jacobus KapteynWas once the star with the highest proper motion, thus making it move away from its recorded position in the sky and go "missing".
Named after the lead investigator astrophysicist who discovered it, Bonnard J. Teegarden, through a datacrunching search of archived data.-

List of red dwarfs with the highest proper motion

Timeline of red dwarfs with the highest proper motion

This is a list of titleholders of being the highest proper motion red dwarf relative to the Sun, and its succession over time.

List of red dwarfs with the highest peculiar velocity

Timeline of red dwarfs with the highest peculiar velocity

This is a list of titleholders of being the highest peculiar velocity red dwarf relative to the local referent, and its succession over time.

List of least massive red dwarfs

These are stars that are closest to the boundary to becoming brown dwarfs but still remain fully fusing stars.

Timeline of lightest red dwarf recordholders

This is a list of titleholders of being the red dwarf with the least mass, and its succession over time.

List of most massive red dwarfs

These are stars are the ones with the bulkiest masses that remain fully conductive, and unable to ever fuse helium, and will not form planetary nebulae, thus never entering red giant star phase.
