Ross 695
red dwarf star in the constellation Corvus
Ross 695, also known as Gliese 465, is a red dwarf star in the southern constellation of Corvus. The distance to this star, based on parallax measurements by the Gaia spacecraft, is 28.947 light-years (8.875 parsecs). It is the nearest star in this constellation. Despite its closeness, this star is intrinsically faint and, at apparent magnitude 11.27, is too faint to be seen with the unaided eye.
This star has a spectral type of M2.0V; with around 26.2% the mass and 27.1% the radius of the Sun, but only 0.98% its luminosity. The effective temperature of the star is 3490 K, giving it a reddish hue. Its iron-to-hydrogen ratio appears to be lower than that of the Sun.
Investigation of its radial velocity has failed to find any evidence of a planetary companion.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Ross 695” is red dwarf star in the constellation Corvus. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Ross, dwarf and star, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “red dwarf star in the constellation Corvus” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 22, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q15981315. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
