Lacaille 9352 (Lac 9352) is a

closest star in the constellation Piscis Austrinus. The ChView simulation[15] shows that its closest neighbour is the EZ Aquarii triple star system at about 4.1 ly
away.

Properties

This star has the fourth highest known

space velocity components of this star are (U, V, W) = (−93.9, −14.1, −51.4) km/s.[18] If the radial velocity (Vr) equals +9.7 km/s then about 2,700 years ago Lacaille 9352 was at its minimal distance of approximately 10.63 ly (3.26 pc) from the Sun.[19]

The

spectrum of Lacaille 9352 places it at a stellar classification of M0.5V,[3] indicating it is a type of main sequence star known as a red dwarf. This was the first red dwarf star to have its angular diameter measured,[20] with the physical diameter being about 47% of the Sun's radius.[9] It has around half the mass of the Sun[3] and the outer envelope has an effective temperature of about 3,670 K.[9]
