This lecture examines the hunting ground for planets, the nearby stars that make up the Solar Neighborhood. I will describe our nearest neighbor, the Proxima Centauri/Alpha Centauri triple system, and then look at the properties of our nearest stellar neighbors. What we will find is that G-type stars like the Sun are uncommon, only about 7% of all nearby main-sequence stars. Red dwarfs, on the other hand, are very common, about 75%. To find Sun-like main sequence stars, we will have to extend our search to larger distances into our Milky Way galaxy proper.
