Red Dwarfs Can Form Compact Planetary Systems

Packed neighborhoods.

Red dwarfs often host tightly packed planetary systems due to their small size and low luminosity.

Why This Matters

This matters for detecting planets via transit methods and studying system dynamics.

It also increases the chances of finding multiple habitable worlds around one star.

Did You Know?

A single red dwarf can host several closely orbiting planets.
