Merged Stars Catalog
A synthesis of the The Catalog of Nearby
Habitable Systems (HabCat), the ChView Catalog of Stars within 150ly, and the
HYG catalog by David Nash. This comma separated value text database is in a 2 Megabyte zip file. GM Habitable Stars Catalog
The Catalog of Nearby Habitable Systems, by Drs.
Tarter and Turnbull, was derived from the Hipparcos Catalogue. It was created by examining the information
on distances, stellar variability, multiplicity, kinematics and spectral
classification for the 118,218 stars contained therein. Information was also used from several
other catalogs containing data for Hipparcos stars on X-ray luminosity, CaII
H&K activity, rotation, spectral types, kinematics, metallicity, and
Stroemgren photometry. Combined with theoretical studies on habitable zones,
evolutionary tracks and third body orbital stability, these data were used to
remove unsuitable stars from HabCat, leaving a residue of stars that, to the
best of our current knowledge, are potentially habitable hosts for complex
life. While this Catalog will no doubt need to be modified as we learn more
about individual objects, the present analysis results in 17,129 Hipparcos
"habstars" near the Sun Here is my database deriving XYZ coordinates for
the HabCat stars. The data are in a comma separated values format using 1.8 Megabytes Here Near Star Links
