I think you found my new favorite website.

Some of the closest habitable neighbour stars.

Gliese 876: http://www.openexoplanetcatalogue.com/system.html?id=Gliese%...

Gliese 581: http://www.openexoplanetcatalogue.com/system.html?id=Gliese%...

This is an interesting example, useless at first glance but you know there are a lot of smaller planets closer to the star. http://www.openexoplanetcatalogue.com/system.html?id=HR%2087...
