Red dwarf stars have proven to be a treasure trove for exoplanet hunters in recent years. In addition to multiple exoplanets candidates being detected around stars like TRAPPIST-1, Gliese 581, Gliese 667C, and Kepler 296, there was also the ESO's recent discovery of a planet orbiting within the habitable zone of our sun's closest neighbor – Proxima Centauri.
