Sebastien Lepine's Homepage
Sebastien Lepine is a research fellow in the Astrophysics
Departement at the American Museum of Natural History, where he has
been working since April 2000. He holds a Ph.D. in physics from the
University of
Montreal, where he graduated in 1998. A "cartographer
of the Galaxy", he is now devoting much of his research efforts in the
search for nearby stars; his goal is to obtain a most complete and
accurate map of the stars located within 100 parsecs (300 light-years)
of the Sun. His most notable effort is the SUPERBLINK survey, an
all-sky survey of stars with large proper motions.

of the northern sky . It is an M8.5 dwarf about 12 parsecs from
the Sun, rushing through the
Solar neighborhood of at a
speed of 165 km/s. The star is a visitor from the Galactic halo.
