Notes

• noknown_stars – If anything is in this field, then the word "known" will NOT precede "stars" in the "No. of stars" section.

• noknown_planets – If anything is in this field, then the word "known" will NOT precede "planets" in the "No. of planets" and "Semi-major axis of outer planet" sections.

• For info on using the Infobox in general, see {{Infobox}}
