I was thinking about adding another page to my website concerning the nearest stars, the brightest stars, etc. In a list of the nearest stars, the vast majority are brighter than the Sun. (I looked for stars with an absolute magnitude that was greater than the Sun's (4.85) and had a visual magnitude less than 6.) Such stars are not well-known and among them are:
alpha Centauri B
epsilon Eridani
61 Cygni A
tau Ceti
Does anyone know if there is a statistic for this? (I doubt I'm the first one of think of this.)
