LHS 2520

LHS 2520 is a red dwarf star located in the constellation Cetus. It is a relatively faint star, requiring a telescope to be observed. The "LHS" designation refers to the Luyten Half-Second catalog, a compilation of stars with high proper motion compiled by Willem Jacob Luyten. Stars with high proper motion are often nearby stars.

Red dwarf stars like LHS 2520 are much smaller and cooler than our Sun. They burn their fuel much more slowly, resulting in extremely long lifespans, potentially lasting trillions of years. They are also far more common than stars like our Sun.

LHS 2520 itself is not particularly notable, other than being a cataloged example of a red dwarf. Its distance is relatively well-established, and its properties (mass, radius, temperature, luminosity) have been measured through various astronomical surveys. As of my knowledge cut-off, no planets have been confirmed orbiting LHS 2520. While it is possible that planets exist around LHS 2520, their detection would be challenging due to the star's faintness. Future observations and surveys may reveal more about this star and any potential planetary system it may host.
