Name : Ross 154 | Distance : 9.5 light years |
Ross 154 is a red dwarf star and was discovered by Frank Elmore Ross in 1925. It has only 17% of the Sun's mass which explains its minimal output. However it is a flare star which means its brightness can increase by a factor of 10 or more, taking only a minute or so to do so before reverting to its normal state, a process which takes only a few minutes | |
In Frontier, no mention is made of Ross 154 being a flare star, but it is well known for the unique ecosystem on the ice world of Merlin. The fishing industry here is renowned throughout the galaxy and there is also a booming tourist industry. | |
