“but it was then found to be a companion to the nearby red dwarf Wolf 940 through its common motion across the sky.”
Don’t all the stars move across the sky in common motion? How do you infer from common motion, that 940B is a companion to Wolf 940A?“Common motion across the sky”: Not all stars adopt a common motion …..; only those which are gravitationally bound to each other in multiple systems. In which case they it is the common centre of mass which is moving through space. As with the alpha Centauri system, which consists of two stars in close orbit about their common centre of mass/gravity; and a third (Proxima) which may or may not be part of the same system (or just be passing by). The system has a single set of co-ordinates (RA, declination, distance and proper motion direction), and each component is orbiting the system centre of mass (or not!!) – if they are in orbit they are part of the system; if not they may just happen to be lying along the line-of-sight to the system. An example being the stars of the Plough (Big Dipper), where some (nearly half) of the asterism is moving in one direction and the others are moving in another direction. Over thousands of years the shape of the Plough will significantly alter because they are not “all” moving wit a common “proper motion” across the sky.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>K Says: April 20th, 2009 at 4:32 am<br

It was just of Donna&#039;s opinion that all that is beautiful in the universe, structure, chaos, everything, was &quot;created&quot; by an &quot;intelligent being&quot;. I myself don&#039;t believe that but that doesn&#039;t make me more sophisticated than others. I highly doubt you possess that sophistication required to understand the origins and nature of our universe and existence.

The 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) was completed years ago and (like the Palomar Sky Survey) can be accessed online for free by anybody. This might be a sensible place to look for nearby IR stars (2MASS lacks the resolution for this object, its high sensitivity can see faint isolated dwarf stars and brown dwarfs). While I agree that our &#039;solar neighborhood&#039; probably does harbor more of these cool bodies (say, within 100-200 light years)  I don&#039;t think the Sun has any unseen stellar or brown dwarf partners, especially any that are claimed to have moved through the inner solar system while in orbit. PanStarrs and LSST might help put the nail in the coffin of that theory (methinks it&#039;s DOA, anyway). Meanwhile, the hunt for other faint cool members of our local solar neighborhood goes on.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@ graal,  An all-sky infrared survey already exists.
