Location of LP 816-60 in the constellation Capricornus

LP 816-60 is a single[3] red dwarf star of spectral type M4, located in constellation Capricornus at 18.6 light-years from Earth.[1]

The discovery name of this star is LP 816-60,[12] which indicates that its discovery was published between 1963 and 1981 in University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.[13] LP 816-60 is known at least from 1979, when it was included to Luyten's catalogue NLTT.[10]

No massive planets were detected around LP 816-60 as in 2013.[3] The star has a magnetic starspot cycle of 10.6±1.7 years,[9] and weak magnetic fields in chromosphere averaging 4.4 G.[14]
