Welcome to the NStars Wiki
The NStars research project was originated in 1998 and is based at Northern Arizona University. Its mission is to be the most current, complete and accurate source of scientific data about all stellar objects within the current study radius of 25 parsecs. At present this includes approximately 2600 stars. The techniques, methods and know how being developed to accomplish this will form the basis to expand this knowledge base further out into our Galaxy. NStars provides research grade internet capabilities to astronomers and other scientists, support for NASA deep space missions and basic star information to students and amateur sky observers.
This site is devoted to observational studies of nearby stars and their circumstellar environments. Special focus is on research supported by NStars Database. Current discussions can be found on the NStars Forum.
