Toliman

At 4.32 light-years, Toliman is part of the nearest star system to the Sun, sharing that distinction within the constellation Centaurus. Designated Alpha Centauri B, it is an orange K-type star with a B–V colour index of 0.9 and an apparent magnitude of 1.35. Its absolute magnitude of 5.74 shows an intrinsic brightness somewhat below the Sun's, so the star owes its visibility almost wholly to extreme proximity rather than to power. From a southern declination of −60° it stays out of view for most northern latitudes, a near neighbour of Earth that nonetheless belongs to the far southern sky.
