LP 71-82 is a red dwarf star, located in constellation Draco at 25.42 light-years from Earth.[3] Kinematically, it is probably belongs to the Ursa Major Moving Group.[6]

LP 71-82 is a flare star with a very strong activity,[1] with at least four flares detected by 2019.[5] Such activity is expected for a star with a short rotational period of just 6 hours. As a low mass star, it is fully convective. It is visible nearly pole-on, with rotational axis deflected from the Sun by 19±3° degrees.[4] The star has a magnetic fields in chromosphere in 3.8-4.7 kilogauss range.[7]

Multiplicity surveys did not find any stellar companions to LP 71-82 as in 2014.[8]
