Hipparcus indicates that our supposed closest star alpha centuari is 742 marcs parallax, which corresponds to about 1.3 pc or 4.3 yrs away. Since stars form in multiple; hence our sun has sister stars at much closer distance, with higher parallax values. Also infrared telescope could be used to look for cold gas giants, and compare image size for relative closesness. In fact does the Brown dwarf survey, and other surveys, include some large infrared planets which indicate a nearby sister star? Such sister stars would have a center of mass, and hence via central force, one would have a spherical distributed cometary cloud - a common Oort cloud. So does our Oort cloud enclose a multi-stellar system?
