K-Dwarfs
K-Dwarfs are a type of star classified as K-type main-sequence stars. They are cooler and less luminous than the more common G-type stars, like our Sun. K-Dwarfs typically have surface temperatures between 3,900 and 5,200 Kelvin and are known for their orange hue. They are stable and can have long lifespans, often lasting billions of years.
These stars are important in the study of stellar evolution and the search for exoplanets. K-Dwarfs are considered good candidates for hosting habitable planets due to their longevity and stable energy output. Their characteristics make them a focus for astronomers exploring the potential for life beyond Earth.
