Lacaille 9352 (Lac 9352) is a star in the southern constellation of Piscis Austrinus. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.34,[2] this star is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye even under excellent seeing conditions. Parallax measurements place it at a distance of about 10.74 light-years (3.29 parsecs) from Earth.[1] It is the eleventh closest star system to the Solar System[9] and is the closest star in the constellation Piscis Austrinus. The ChView simulation[10] shows that its closest neighbour is the EZ Aquarii triple star system at about 4.1 ly from Lacaille 9352.

Properties
This star has the fourth highest known proper motion,[18] (which was first noticed by Benjamin Gould in 1881[19]) moving a total of 6.9 arcseconds per year. However, this is still a very small movement overall, as there are 3,600 arcseconds in a degree of arc. The space velocity components of this star are (U, V, W) = (−93.9, −14.1, −51.4) km/s.[20] If the radial velocity (Vr) equals +9.7 km/s then about 2,700 years ago Lacaille 9352 was at its minimal distance of approximately 10.63 ly (3.26 pc) from the Sun.[21]
The spectrum of Lacaille 9352 places it at a stellar classification of M0.5V,[3] indicating it is a type of main sequence star known as a red dwarf. This was the first red dwarf star to have its angular diameter measured,[22] with the physical diameter being about 46% of the Sun's radius.[3] It has around half the mass of the Sun[3] and the outer envelope has an effective temperature of about 3,626 K.[3]
