Stein 2051 (Gliese 169.1, G 175-034, LHS 26/27) is a nearby binary star system, containing a red dwarf (component A) and a degenerate star (white dwarf) (component B), located in constellation Camelopardalis at about 18 ly from Earth.{{cite web|url=http://webviz.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-5?-source=I/238A/picat&GCTP=986.01|title=GCTP 986.01|work=The General Catalogue of Trigonometric Stellar Parallaxes |edition=Fourth |author1=Van Altena W. F. |author2=Lee J. T. |author3=Hoffleit E. D. |year=1995|access-date=2014-11-23}}
Stein 2051 is the nearest (red dwarf + white dwarf) separate binary system (40 Eridani BC is located closer at 16.26 light-years,{{cite web|url=http://webviz.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-5?-source=I/239/hip_main&HIP=19849|title=HIP 19849|work=The Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues|author=Perryman|year=1997|display-authors=etal|access-date=2014-11-21}} but it is a part of a triple star system).
Stein 2051 B is the 6th nearest white dwarf after Sirius B, Procyon B, van Maanen's star, LP 145-141 and 40 Eridani B.
Properties
The brighter of these two stars is A (a red dwarf), but the more massive is component B (a white dwarf).
In 2017, Stein 2051 B was observed passing in front of a more distant star. The bending of starlight by the gravitational field of the nearer star allowed its mass to be directly measured. The estimated mass of Stein 2051 B is {{Val|0.675|0.051|ul=solar mass}}, which fits the expected range of a white dwarf with a carbon-oxygen core.{{citation
