Page "Hyades (star cluster)" Paragraph 18

The Hyades ' cohort of lower-mass stars – spectral types K and M – remains poorly understood, despite proximity and long observation.

At least 48 K dwarfs are confirmed members, along with about a dozen M dwarfs of spectral types M0-M2.

Additional M dwarfs have been proposed, but few are later than M3, and only about 12 brown dwarfs are currently reported.

This deficiency at the bottom of the mass range contrasts strongly with the distribution of stars within 10 parsecs of the Solar System, where at least 239 M dwarfs are known, comprising about 76 % of all neighborhood stars.
